Scientific paper

SEVERAL mechanisms have been proposed to explain the super-rotation of the Earth's upper atmosphere discovered by King-Hele1. These mechanisms can be divided into two general groups. The first considers the absorption of solar radiation within the upper atmosphere as the original driving force for the super-rotation, whereas the second assumes the primary source to lie outside the upper atmosphere. The first group can be subdivided into three parts which give differing hypotheses to explain the transformation of solar radiation energy into kinetic energy of the super-rotation.
