Abstract
âºVariation of the high-latitude Joule heating is studied at increasing spatial resolution. âºFrom 5°Ã5° to 2.5°Ã0.3125° longitude-latitude resolution Joule heating increases â¼40%. âºIncreasing Joule heating artificially leads to an underestimation of the coupling processes. âºIn high resolution simulations, dynamical cooling counteracts enhanced Joule heating. âºBetter parameterizations of small-scale processes are required at high-latitude thermosphere.
