| Abstract: | The main features of upper atmosphere dynamics as an important part of upper atmosphere climatology are presented. The dynamics
of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) are of special interest. The results are based on the long series of investigations
in East Siberia and data from a world-wide network of observatories. We present the regional climatic norms for the prevailing
wind and semi-diurnal tide and the main features of the quasi-periodic structure of the wind field. The non-zonality of MLT
dynamics is demonstrated as well as regional differences in the response of the wind field to stratospheric disturbances,
solar activity variations and geomagnetic storms. |
