Seasonal cycle of COO, COO, and COO in the middle atmosphere: Implications for mesospheric dynamics and biogeochemical sources and sinks of CO2
[1] The isotopic anomaly of oxygen in atmospheric CO2 is caused by exchange reactions with isotopically anomalous O(D) in the middle atmosphere. In the stratosphere, the major source of O(D) is O3 photolysis; O3 is known to possess mass-independent isotopic composition, with dO3 dO3 100% relative to atmospheric O2. Higher in the mesosphere, Lyman a-driven photodissociation of O2 provides a more...
متن کاملCorrelations of mesospheric winds with subtle motion of the Arctic polar vortex
This paper investigates the relationship between high latitude upper mesospheric winds and the state of the stratospheric polar vortex in the absence of major sudden stratospheric warmings. A ground based Michelson Interferometer stationed at Resolute Bay (7443 N, 9458 W) in the Canadian High Arctic is used to measure mesopause region neutral winds using the hydroxyl (OH) Meinel-band airglow em...
متن کاملObservations of stratospheric warmings and mesospheric coolings by the TIMED SABER instrument
[1] We used temperature data from the Sounding of the Atmosphere with Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) on the the NASA TIMED satellite to quantify the connection between temperatures in the stratosphere and in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Specifically, we studied three winter periods where stratospheric temperatures were dynamically disturbed: February 2002, August, 2002, and Feb...
متن کاملComparison of ozone profiles and influences from the tertiary ozone maximum in the night-to-day ratio above Switzerland
Stratospheric and middle-mesospheric ozone profiles above Bern, Switzerland (46.95 N, 7.44 E; 577 m) have been continually measured by the GROMOS (GROundbased Millimeter-wave Ozone Spectrometer) microwave radiometer since 1994. GROMOS is part of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). A new version of the ozone profile retrievals has been developed with the aim ...
متن کاملLightning sferics and stroke-delayed pulses measured in the stratosphere: Implications for mesospheric currents
[1] During the Brazil Sprite Balloon Campaign 2002–03, the vector ELF to VLF (25 Hz–8 kHz) electric and magnetic fields driven by cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning strokes at horizontal distances of 75–600 km were measured at altitudes of 30–35 km. Electric field changes were measured for each of the 2467 CG strokes detected by the Brazilian Integrated Lightning Network. ELF pulses that occur 4–12...
