RISObservations of the Diurnal Tide from Space
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study presents a climatology of mesospheric and lower-thermospheric diurnal tidal winds obtained with the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). The observations reveal ...
Excitation and Evolution of the Quasi-2-Day Wave Observed in UARS/MLS Temperature Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The quasi-2-day wave is known as a strong and transient perturbation in the middle and upper atmosphere that often occurs shortly after solstice. The excitation mechanisms of this transient wave have been discussed for ...
UARS/MLS Cloud Ice Measurements: Implications for H2O Transport near the Tropopause
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique for detecting large hydrometeors at high altitudes is described here and applied to the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite/Microwave Limb Sounder (UARS/MLS) 203-GHz radiance measurements at tangent pressures ...
The UARS and EOS Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) experiments obtain measurements of atmospheric composition, temperature, and pressure by observations of millimeter- and submillimeter-wavelength thermal emission as the instrument field ...
