Abstract
The Navier–Stokes equations are solved by introducing a statistical model of density and a distinct temperature model. The computations have been made for equinoctial conditions at a height of 300 km and at different latitudes. The non-linear terms of inertia are included. They slightly reduce the amplitude of the speed, but their influence can be neglected, particularly during the day.The results are presented in the form of a global wind pattern. The most important features are: the existence of transequatorial winds at night, the asymmetrical structure of the wind pattern, and the agreement of the computed velocities with observations.
