The resulting profiles of the fractional density change (top), neutral temperature change (middle top), eastward neutral velocity (middle), northward neutral velocity (middle bottom), and vertical neutral velocity (bottom) at the 400-km altitude in each case. Positive distance is directed to the northward. The peak of electron precipitation is located at the center
