The dynamics of the turbopauseThe investigation reported shows the variability of eddy diffusion at the turbopause on diurnal, seasonal, and solar cycle time scales, and also on latitude. Realistic vertical eddy diffusion profiles for the lower thermosphere are presented. The results of the studies illustrate the importance of global winds in the dynamics of the lower thermosphere. Difficulties regarding the direct measurement of eddy diffusivity in the lower thermosphere are discussed.
