Magnetometry with mesospheric sodium.
Measurement of magnetic fields on the few 100-km length scale is significant for many geophysical applications including mapping of crustal magnetism and ocean circulation measurements, yet available techniques for such measurements are very expensive or of limited accuracy. We propose a method for remote detection of magnetic fields using the naturally occurring atomic sodium-rich layer in the...
متن کاملLidar Observations of Polar Mesospheric Clouds at South Pole: Seasonal Variations
Polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) were observed above the geographic South Pole by an Fe Boltzmann temperature lidar from 11 Dec 99 to 24 Feb 00. During this 76-day period 297 h of observations were made on 33 different days and PMCs were detected 66.5% of the time. The mean PMC peak backscatter ratio, peak volume backscatter coefficient, total backscatter coefficient, layer centroid altitude, an...
متن کاملLidar studies of interannual, seasonal, and diurnal variations of polar mesospheric clouds at the South Pole
[1] Polar mesospheric clouds (PMC) were observed by an Fe Boltzmann temperature lidar at the South Pole in the 1999–2000 and 2000–2001 austral summer seasons. We report the study of interannual, seasonal, and diurnal variations of PMC using more than 430 h of PMC data. The most significant differences between the two seasons are that in the 2000– 2001 season, the PMC mean total backscatter coef...
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 کاملStudy of the tidal variations in mesospheric temperature at low and mid latitudes from WINDII and potassium lidar observations
Zonal mean daytime temperatures from the Wind Imaging Interferometer (WINDII) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) and nightly temperatures from a potassium (K) lidar are employed in the study of the tidal variations in mesospheric temperature at low and mid latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. The analysis is applied to observations at 89 km height for winter solstice, December t...
