Kelvin Waves in the Equatorial Middle Atmosphere Observed by the Nimbus 5. SCR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure and behavior of Kelvin waves in the equatorial upper stratosphere and mesosphere are investigated by the use of infrared radiation measurements from the Selective Chopper Radiometer (SCR) on the Nimbus 5 ...
Equatorial Waves in the Upper Stratosphere and Mesosphere in Relation to the Semiannual Oscillation of the Zonal Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis is made of equatorial wave disturbances in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere by the use of meteorological rocket and satellite observations, to clarify their structure and behavior in relation to the ...
Normal Mode Rossby Waves Observed in the Upper Stratosphere. Part I: First Symmetric Modes of Zonal Wavenumbers 1 and 2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A global analysis is made of large-scale traveling planetary waves in the upper stratosphere by the use of stratospheric height and thickness data up to the 1 mb level derived from the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU) on ...
Normal Mode Rossby Waves Observed in the Upper Stratosphere. Part II: Second Antisymmetric and Symmetric Modes of Zonal Wavenumbers 1 and 2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As an extension of our recent previous study, the global structure and behavior of higher-mode Rossby waves am investigated with the aid of TIROS-N and NOAA-A satellite observations for the period November 1979 through ...
Global Characteristics of Medium-Scale Tropopausal Waves Observed in ECMWF Operational Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Global characteristics and seasonal variation of medium-scale (zonal wavelengths of 2000?3000 km) waves observed around the midlatitude tropopause are examined using 6-hourly European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts ...
