متن کاملWintertime water vapor in the polar upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere: First satellite observations by Odin submillimeter radiometer
[1] In this paper we present Odin submillimeter radiometer (Odin/SMR) water vapor measurements in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere with focus on the polar latitudes in winter. Measurements since 2003 have been compiled to provide a first overview of the water vapor distribution in this altitude range. Our observations show a distinct seasonal increase of the water vapor concentration...
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 کاملObservations of planetary waves in the mesosphere-lower thermosphere during stratospheric warming events
This study investigates the effect of stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) on planetary wave (PW) activity in the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT). PW activity near 95 km is derived from meteor wind data using a chain of eight SuperDARN radars at high northern latitudes that span longitudes from 150W to 25 E and latitudes from 51 to 66 N. Zonal wave number 1 and 2 components were extracted f...
متن کاملObservations of the 5day wave in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere
The 5-day planetary wave has been detected in the winds measured by the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (50-110 kin). The appearances of the 5-day wave are transient, with a lifetime of 10-20 days in the two-year data set. The structures of selected 5-day wave events are in generally good agreement ...
