Scientific paper

The winds at the observatory during solar cycle minimum are seen to be driven primarily by global pressure gradients established by solar heating and high-latitude heat and momentum sources at a large distance from the observatory. However, during solar cycle maximum, the winds to the immediate north of the observatory come under the influence of the magnetospheric convection pattern; the winds to the south of the station, on the other hand, are driven primarily by pressure forces rather than the ion drag momentum source. The wind pattern observed during solar cycle minimum also exhibits considerably more variability, perhaps owing to greater ease of lower atmospheric disturbances in reaching F region heights or perhaps owing to greater variability in ion drag associated with ionospheric dynamics.
