Nitric oxide (NO) has long been recognized as one of the most important trace constituents in the middle and upper atmosphere.

The specification and prediction of density changes in the thermosphere is a key challenge for space weather observations and modeling, because it is one result of complex interactions between the Sun and the terrestrial atmosphere, and also because it is of operational importance for tracking ob
We demonstrate a novel physical mechanism, namely, that a “solar tsunami” occurring in the Sun’s interior shear-fluid layer can trigger new cycle’s magnetic flux emergence at high latitudes, a few weeks after the cessation of old cycle’s flux emergence near the equator.
We study visible and infrared spectra, from 310 nm to 5 microns, obtained during the 21st August 2017 eclipse. The instruments were situated at Camp Wyoba (altitude 2402 m) on Casper Mountain, WY.
Using Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) at five mid-latitude stations (Boulder, Palmer, Millstone Hill, Mt. John, and Kelan) in both hemispheres, we examine the inter-hemispheric and seasonal variations of mid-latitude thermospheric dynamics.
