Inertia-gravity waves in the troposphere and lower stratosphere associated with a jet stream exit region
Radar measurements at Aberystwyth (52.4°N, 4.1°W) of winds at tropospheric and lower stratospheric heights are shown for 12±13 March 1994 in a region of highly curved ̄ow, downstream of the jet maximum. The perturbations of horizontal velocity have comparable amplitudes in the troposphere and lower stratosphere with downward and upward phase propagation, respectively, in these two height region...
متن کاملGravity wave momentum flux in the lower stratosphere over convection
This work describes a method for estimating vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum carried by short horizontal scale gravity waves (Xx = 10-100 km) using aircraft measured winds in the lower stratosphere. We utilize the in situ wind vector and pressure altitude measurements provided by the Meteorological Measurement System (MMS) on board the ER-2 aircraft to compute the momentum flux vectors at...
متن کاملAircraft measurements of gravity waves in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere during the START08 field experiment
This study analyzes in situ airborne measurements from the 2008 Stratosphere–Troposphere Analyses of Regional Transport (START08) experiment to characterize gravity waves in the extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (ExUTLS). The focus is on the second research flight (RF02), which took place on 21–22 April 2008. This was the first airborne mission dedicated to probing gravity ...
متن کاملInvestigation of inertia-gravity waves in the upper troposphere/ lower stratosphere over Northern Germany observed with collocated VHF/UHF radars
A case study to investigate the properties of inertia-gravity waves in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere has been carried out over Northern Germany during the occurrence of an upper tropospheric jet in connection with a poleward Rossby wave breaking event from 17– 19 December 1999. The investigations are based on the evaluation of continuous radar measurements with the OSWIN VHF radar at...
متن کاملEvaluation of WRF performance for depicting orographically-induced gravity waves in the stratosphere
Orographically-induced gravity (buoyancy) waves can propagate through the tropopause to the stratosphere causing disruption to high altitude aircraft operations. High altitude turbulence (HAT) was first researched using U-2 aircraft in the mid-1960s and reported by Crooks (1965). He observed that HAT from mountain wave activity was more severe than turbulence associated with jet streams or conv...
