HIWIND Observation of Summer Season Polar Cap Thermospheric Winds

The dataset includes 1) balloon-borne instrument HIWIND observed thermospheric winds in the polar cap, and 2) TIEGCM simulation of the polar cap electron density and thermospheric winds with normal soft electron precipitation and more soft electron precipitation. The dataset will be used in a publication with the same title.
