Is any of this happening in reality? Surely the coriolis effect, which is responsible for the altitude wind turning right relative to the surface wind, is still there at night?

I don't fly much at night but have never noticed any big difference in the winds aloft v. surface. What does happen is that both of them tend to be much weaker.
