Neutral wind upwelling events are well documented in both the northern and southern high latitude ionosphere. The vertical winds in the F-region frequently exceed 100 m/s, and winds in excess of 200 m/s have been observed. These upwelling events occur in a latitudinal band of 4°–6° width that extend...
