Scientific paper

An overview of current (1983-1986) research on the energetics and dynamics of the earth's thermosphere is presented. The global mean radiative and thermal balance in the thermosphere is examined, and the results of experimental investigations for the low-latitude, mid-latitude, and high-latitude upper thermosphere regions are discussed. Consideration is also given to research done in the lower thermosphere, including investigations of tidal and gravity wave processes. In addition, various thermospheric models are discussed together with the results obtained by the analysis of the thermosphere's energetics and dynamics.
