Small but statistically significant changes in mesospheric heating rates lead to 1.5 K-temperature anomalies in the mesosphere and the stratosphere at Southern Hemisphere high latitudes."</p><p><a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2024JD042442" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.co</span><span class="invisible">m/doi/full/10.1029/2024JD042442</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SpaceEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceEnvironment</span></a></p>
