Measurements of the Effects of Gravity Waves in the Middle Atmosphere Using Parametric Models of Density Fluctuations. Part II: Energy Dissipation and Eddy Diffusion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Part I of this series demonstrated the advantages of parametric models in estimating the gravity wave spectrum from density fluctuation measurements using a large power-aperture-product Rayleigh-scatter lidar. The spectra ...
Measurements of the Effects of Gravity Waves in the Middle Atmosphere Using Parametric Models of Density Fluctuations. Part I: Vertical Wavenumber and Temporal Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Parametric models of spectral analysis offer several distinct advantages over statistical methods such as the correlogram analysis. These advantages include higher spectral resolution and the ability, in principle, to ...
Ozone Corrections for Rayleigh-Scatter Temperature Determinations in the Middle Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A well-established technique for the determination of temperature in the middle atmosphere is the retrieval of temperature profiles from density profiles of air. The measurement of air density profiles from the ground and ...
A 1D Var retrieval of relative humidity using the ERA5 dataset for the assimilation of Raman lidar measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present a 1-dimensional-variational (1D Var) retrieval of fifth generation European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecast Re-Analysis (ERA5) temperature and relative humidity profiles above Payerne, Switzerland, ...
A Remotely Operated Lidar for Aerosol, Temperature, and Water Vapor Profiling in the High Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rayleigh?Mie?Raman lidar has been installed and is operating in the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory at Eureka in the High Arctic (79°59?N, 85°56?W) as part of the Canadian Network for the Detection of ...
