Horizontal distributions at 112.5 km altitude and 7 LT of the compression, transportation, and differential flux density (first, second, and third columns). The first, second, and third rows show density variations due to vertical dynamics (VC, VT, and VDFD), meridional dynamics (MC, MT, and MDFD), and zonal dynamics (ZC, ZT, and ZDFD), respectively. The fourth row shows the total variables displayed in the first, second, and third rows. The color range is between \(-4.0\times 10^4\) and \(4.0\times 10^4\) m\(^{-3}\) s\(^{-1}\)
