Tidal signatures of the thermospheric mass density and zonal wind at midlatitude: CHAMP and GRACE observations

By using the accelerometer measurements from CHAMP and GRACE satellites, the tidal signatures of the thermospheric mass density and zonal wind at midlatitudes have been analyzed in this study. The results show that the mass density and zonal wind at southern midlatitudes are dominated by a longi...
