Validation of HRDI MLT winds with meteor radars
A validation study of the mesospheric and lower-thermospheric (MLT) wind velocities measured by the High-Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on board the Upper-Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) has been carried out, comparing with observations by meteor radars located at Shigaraki, Japan and Jakarta, Indonesia. The accuracy of the HRDI winds relative to the meteor radars is obtained by a series...
متن کاملSeasonal variabilities of low-latitude mesospheric winds
Observations of mesospheric winds over a period of four years with the partial re ̄ection radar at Tirunelveli (8.7°N, 77.8°E), India, are presented in this study. The emphasis is on describing seasonal variabilities in mean zonal and meridional winds in the altitude region 70±98 km. The meridional winds exhibit overall transequatorial ̄ow associated with dierential heating in the Northern and ...
متن کاملWinds and tides in the mid-latitude Southern Hemisphere upper mesosphere recorded with the Falkland Islands SuperDARN radar
Meteor wind data from the first year of operation of the Falkland Islands SuperDARN radar (52 S, 59 W) are used to characterize the atmospheric tides and background winds in the upper mesosphere above the South Atlantic. Strong (>40 m s−1) semidiurnal tides are observed in the winter time and large amplitude (>60 m s−1) bursts of quasi two-day wave activity are seen in January 2011. Data are in...
متن کاملExamining the influence of sudden stratospheric warming in the upper mesosphere- lower thermosphere region using satellite and HF radar data sets
The first ever detection of a major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) in the Southern Hemisphere occurred during the 2002 Antarctica winter [Baldwin et al., 2003]. This unprecedented event led to the first time split of the South Pole polar vortex into two parts. SSWs are known to be primarily caused by planetary waves which are originally excited at the tropospheric heights and propagate upwa...
متن کاملPCA and vTEC climatology at midnight over mid-latitude regions
The effect of the thermospheric vertical neutral wind on vertical total electron content (vTEC) variations including longitudinal anomaly, remaining winter anomaly, mid-latitude summer night anomaly, and semiannual anomaly is studied at mid-latitude regions around zero magnetic declination at midnight during high solar activity. By using the principal component analysis (PCA) numerical techniqu...
