Quasi-biennial oscillation influence on long-period planetary waves in the Antarctic upper mesosphere
[1] Long-period planetary wave data derived from meteor wind observations recorded over a 12-year period with the SuperDARN radar at Halley, Antarctica, are presented and compared with the phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) throughout the equatorial stratosphere. Enhanced planetary wave activity in the Antarctic upper mesosphere is found during the summer months, when the QBO in the ...
متن کاملSTABILITY ANALYSIS FROM FOURTH ORDER NONLINEAR EVOLUTION EQUATIONS FOR TWO CAPILLARY GRAVITY WAVE PACKETS IN THE PRESENCE OF WIND OWING OVER WATER.
Asymptotically exact and nonlocal fourth order nonlinear evolution equations are derived for two coupled fourth order nonlinear evolution equations have been derived in deep water for two capillary-gravity wave packets propagating in the same direction in the presence of wind flowing over water.We have used a general method, based on Zakharov integral equation.On the basis of these evolution eq...
متن کاملThe atmospheric background situation in northern Scandinavia during January/February 2003 in the context of the MaCWAVE campaign
The atmosphere background wind field controls the propagation of gravity waves from the troposphere through the stratosphere into the mesosphere. During January 2003 the MaCWAVE campaign took place at Esrange, with the purpose of observing vertically ascending waves induced by orography. Temperature data from the U. Bonn lidar at Esrange (68 N/21 E) and the ALOMAR RMR lidar (69 N/16 E), wind da...
متن کاملTurbulence characteristics in the tropical mesosphere as obtained by MST radar at Gadanki ( 13 . 5 ◦ N , 79 . 2 ◦ E )
Turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates (ε) and eddy diffusion coefficients (K z) in the tropical mesosphere over Gadanki (13.5 • N, 79.2 • E), estimated from Doppler widths of MST radar echoes (vertical beam), observed over a 3-year period, show a seasonal variation with a dominant summer maximum. The observed seasonal variation of ε and K z in the mesosphere is only partially consistent wi...
متن کاملAn investigation of long-distance propagation of gravity waves under CAWSES India Phase II Programme
Coordinated measurements of airglow features from the mesosphere–lower thermosphere (MLT) region were performed at Allahabad (25.5 N, 81.9 E) and Gadanki (13.5 N, 79.2 E), India to study the propagation of gravity waves in 13–27 N latitude range during the period June 2009 to May 2010 under CAWSES (Climate And Weather of Sun Earth System) India Phase II Programme. At Allahabad, imaging observat...
