Stratospheric Weather Impacts Light Species at Great Heights

by Michael P. Hickey 14 December 202016 March 2023

Sudden stratospheric warmings in the high latitude wintertime can drive changes in light species (H, He and O) all the way though the thermosphere, likely influencing ion densities in the exosphere.
