Scientific paper

Attention is given to nonlinear acceleration, thermospheric winds, and viscous stress in an analysis of gas artificially injected into the nighttime atmosphere at F-region altitudes. The heights at which nonlinear acceleration and viscous stress become more important than diffusion for an injected H2 gas are found to increase in direct proportion to solar activity. For injected water vapor, the same phenomenon is observed, but with a larger height amplitude. Thermospheric winds of 150-400 m/s are important at altitudes near and below the F-region peak electron density, where they serve to transport the injected gas in the wind direction.
