RISMesoscale Disturbances in the Tropical Stratosphere Excited by Convection: Observations and Effects on the Stratospheric Momentum Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The importance of the momentum flux of topographically generated mesoscale gravity waves to the extratropical middle atmosphere circulation has been well established for over a decade. Estimates of the zonal forcing due ...
Seasonal Variations of NO and 03 at Altitudes of 18.3 and 21.3 km
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nitric oxide and ozone concentrations have been measured in situ from a high-altitude research aircraft based at the NASA Ames Research Center. Data which show the variations of NO and 03 with the time of year are presented ...
Small-Scale Motions Observed by Aircraft in the Tropical Lower Stratosphere: Evidence for Mixing and its Relationship to Large-Scale Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurments of temperature and ozone from instrumental aircraft in the tropical lower stratosphere show the presence of small-scale disturbances generated by 1) underlying cumulus convection and 2) Kelvin-Helmholtz ...
A New Instrumented Airborne Platform for Atmospheric Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NASA Ames Research Center operates a new research platform for atmospheric studies: an instrumented Alpha Jet. The present complement of instruments allows for the determination of carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapor, ...
Enhancing Climate Resilience at NASA Centers: A Collaboration between Science and Stewardship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ship between Earth scientists and institutional stewards is helping the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) prepare for a changing climate and growing climate-related vulnerabilities. An important part of ...
