Diurnal variation of short-period (20–120 min) gravity waves in the equatorial Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere and its relation to deep tropical convection
We study short period gravity waves (20–120 min) in the equatorial Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) using a Medium Frequency (MF) radar at Pameungpeuk (7.4 S, 107.4 E), Indonesia. In particular, we study local time and seasonal variation of the gravity wave variance and its relation to tropical convection. The gravity wave variance at 88 km enhances between 20:00 LT and 07:00 LT, with a ...
متن کاملThe period - doubling of gravity - capillary waves
In this paper an attempt is made to explain the period-doubling of wind-generated gravity-capillary waves as observed in the experimentofChoi (1977). It is conjectured that period-doubling is closely related to the phenomenon of second-harmonic resonance. In order to obtain a simple dynamical model, results of McGoldrick (1970) and Simmons (1969) are extended to include the effect of wind input...
متن کاملQuasi-biennial oscillation influence on long-period planetary waves in the Antarctic upper mesosphere
[1] Long-period planetary wave data derived from meteor wind observations recorded over a 12-year period with the SuperDARN radar at Halley, Antarctica, are presented and compared with the phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) throughout the equatorial stratosphere. Enhanced planetary wave activity in the Antarctic upper mesosphere is found during the summer months, when the QBO in the ...
متن کاملWater Waves over Ripples
The interaction of small amplitude water waves with a patch of bottom ripples is studied using the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM). Normal and oblique wave incidence is examined for reflection coefficients and the laboratory data of Davies and Heathershaw are compared to the numerical results, with the conclusion that the analytical model of Davies and Heathershaw overestimates the ref...
متن کاملOn Shear-Generated Gravity Waves that Reach the Mesosphere. Part II: Wave Propagation
The propagation of Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) shear-generated gravity waves through the summer stratosphere is investigated using ray tracing, taking into account back-reflection as well as wave dissipation due to precriticallayer breaking, radiative damping, and viscous diffusion. It is found that the transmission rate of upward– eastward waves to the mesosphere is surprisingly good, provided that ...
