Equatorial wave analysis from SABER and ECMWF temperatures
Equatorial planetary scale wave modes such as Kelvin waves or Rossby-gravity waves are excited by convective processes in the troposphere. In this paper an analysis for these and other equatorial wave modes is carried out with special focus on the stratosphere using temperature data from the SABER satellite instrument as well as ECMWF temperatures. Space-time spectra of symmetric and antisymmet...
متن کاملAssimilation of stratospheric and mesospheric temperatures from MLS and SABER into a global NWP model
The forecast model and three-dimensional variational data assimilation components of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) have each been extended into the upper stratosphere and mesosphere to form an Advanced Level Physics High Altitude (ALPHA) version of NOGAPS extending to ∼100 km. This 5 NOGAPS-ALPHA NWP prototype is used to assimilate stratospheric and mesosphe...
متن کاملOn the Signatures of Equatorial and Extratropical Wave Forcing in Tropical Tropopause Layer Temperatures
Temperatures in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) play an important role in stratosphere–troposphere exchange and in the formation and maintenance of thin cirrus clouds. Many previous studies have examined the contributions of extratropical and equatorial waves to the TTL using coarse-vertical-resolution satellite and reanalysis data. In this study, the authors provide new insight into the ro...
متن کاملTest of diurnal and semidiurnal tidal analysis of temperatures from SABER-like sampling of a realistic global model, CMAM-DAS
Because the TIMED satellite orbit precesses slowly in local time, 3 degrees (12 min) per day, thus apparently covering all local times at low and mid latitudes in 2 months when ascending and descending nodes are included, there is a potential for determining migrating and non-migrating tides from temperatures. Many papers have been written on the subject, but none have taken a realistic model a...
متن کاملQuantification of the contribution of equatorial Kelvin waves to the QBO wind reversal in the stratosphere
[1] Both global scale waves (e.g., Kelvin, equatorial Rossby, or Rossby-gravity waves) and mesoscale gravity waves contribute to the wind reversals of the quasi biennial oscillation (QBO). The relative contributions of the different wave types are highly uncertain. In our work we quantify the contribution of equatorial Kelvin waves to the reversal from stratospheric easterlies to westerlies ave...
