The resulting north–south profiles of the fractional density change and neutral velocity (top), neutral temperature change (middle top), eastward neutral velocity (middle bottom), and specific heating rate (bottom) in each case. In the top, the contour maps show the fractional density change, and vectors show the neutral flow velocity. The right side (positive values) of the horizontal axis is the north. The peak of electron precipitation is located at the horizontal center
