On the Relative Need for Satellite Remote Soundings and Rocket Soundings of the Upper Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A review of engineering and research data requirements for altitudes 30?100 km is made, indicating a variety of concrete data applications above 30 km (10 mb). The required data have in large measure been provided from ...
The High-Latitude Density Regime at Rocket Altitudes Inferred from Observations in Opposite Hemispheres
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The compatibility of rocket observational results in the Arctic and Antarctic is examined for altitudes in the upper stratosphere. Atmospheric densities are derived from rocket pressure gage and thermistor observations at ...
The Stratospheric Evolution of Sudden Warmings in 1969–74 Determined from Measured infrared Radiation Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiance measurements made by the Satellite Infrared Spectrometers (SIRS A and B) and Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometers (VTPR) in 1969?74 comprise a basically uniform observational data source, in view of the ...
A Comparison of Observed and Simulated Properties of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Significant advances have been made recently both in observational studies and in dynamical numerical simulations of stratosphere warmings. Observed characteristics of warmings are reviewed, with discussion of the trajectory ...
