Interannual Variability of Trace Gases in the Subtropical Winter Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of water vapor and methane from the Halogen Occultation Experiment instrument on board the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are used to study the interannual variability of trace gas distributions in the ...
Diagnostic Analysis of Tidal Winds and the Eliassen–Palm Flux Divergence in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere from TIMED/SABER Temperatures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For migrating tides or fast-moving planetary waves, polarization relations derived from the linear wave equations are required to accurately derive the wind components from the temperature field. A common problem in ...
Synoptic Interpretation of Measurements from HALOE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The degree to which the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex is isolated against horizontal (isentropic) mixing is investigated using data from the Halogen Occulation Experiment (HALOE), U.K. Meteorological Office (UKMO) ...
El Niño as a Natural Experiment for Studying the Tropical Tropopause Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of the tropical tropopause region between 14 and 18 km is examined using observations of convection, winds, and tropopause temperatures from reanalyses and water vapor from satellites. This ...
Transport of Ozone in the Middle Stratosphere: Evidence for Planetary Wave Breaking
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from the Nimbus 7 Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) for the period 25 October 1978?28 May 1979 are used in a descriptive study of ozone variations in the middle stratosphere. It is shown that the ozone ...
