Lagrangian Mean Circulations in the Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-dimensional winds derived from LIMS satellite observations for the 1978/79 winter are used to compute the mean Lagrangian motion in the winter stratosphere. Material tubes of air parcels are initialized every 4 days ...
Radiative Heating and Cooling Rates in the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the limitations to the accurate calculation of radiative heating and cooling rates in the stratosphere and mesosphere has been the lack of accurate data on the atmospheric temperature and composition. Data from the ...
The Global Residual Mean Circulation in the Middle Atmosphere for the Northern Winter Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The residual mean circulation (rmc) has been calculated from the transformed thermodynamic equation using LIMS (Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere) data for the 100?0.1 mb region. For discussion, it has been divided ...
Wave–Wave Interactions in the Stratosphere: Observations during Quiet and Active Wintertime Periods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using satellite data from the Nimbus 7 LIMS instrument, a previous study by Smith showed that interactions among planetary waves 1, 2 and 3 in the stratosphere were significant during January 1979. That month was characterized ...
