Title/Introduction: Sura Artificial Airglow Artificial high-frequency radio-wave pump-induced optical emissions in the thermosphere at the Sura facility in Russia sometimes appear to drift westward. This modelling run is to obtain the neutral wind pattern during the experiments, which may explain the westward drift observation.
