------------------------------------------------------------------------- Horizontal wind model HWM93 covering all altitude regions MSIS-86 density model and GWS4 for thermospheric winds. UT, Local Time, and Longitude are used independently in the model and are not of equal importance for every situation. For the most physically realistic calculation these three variables should be consistent. Since version 3.5 (ACT). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: [W, WBT, WCT] = HorizontalWind( IYD, SEC, ALT, GLAT, GLONG, STL, F107A, F107, AP, SW ) Additional comments: To turn on or off particular variations pass SW as the last argument where SW is a 25 element array with 0 for off 1 for on 2 or main effects off but cross terms on The variations: 1 - F10.7 EFFECT ON MEAN 2 - TIME INDEPENDENT 3 - SYMMETRICAL ANNUAL 4 - SYMMETRICAL SEMIANNUAL 5 - ASYMMETRICAL ANNUAL 6 - ASYMMETRICAL SEMIANNUAL 7 - DIURNAL 8 - SEMIDIURNAL 9 - DAILY AP 10 - ALL UT/LONG EFFECTS 11 - LONGITUDINAL 12 - UT AND MIXED UT/LONG 13 - MIXED AP/UT/LONG 14 - TERDIURNAL 16 - ALL WINDF VAR 17 - ALL WZL VAR 18 - ALL UN1 VAR 19 - ALL WDZL VAR 24 - ALL B FIELDS (DIV) 25 - ALL C FIELDS (CURL) For example, to get zonal averages (no diurnal or longitudinal variations) set SW(7), SW(8), SW(14), and SW(10) equal to 0. To just remove tidal variations set SW(7), SW(8), and SW(14) equal to 0. If no arguments are entered it will run a demo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ IYD (1,1) YEAR AND DAY AS YYYYDDD SEC (1,1) UT(SEC) (Not important in lower atmosphere) ALT (1,1) ALTITUDE(KM) GLAT (1,1) GEODETIC LATITUDE(DEG) GLONG (1,1) GEODETIC LONGITUDE(DEG) STL (1,1) LOCAL APPARENT SOLAR TIME(HRS) F107A (1,1) 3 MONTH AVERAGE OF F10.7 FLUX (Use 150 in lower atmos.)
