Polar Mesosphere Summer Radar Echoes: Observations and Current Theories
The remarkably strong radar echoes from the summer polar mesosphere have been an enigma to atmospheric and radar scientists since their discovery more than a decade ago. Since then, more sophisticated radar experiments and in situ rocket measurements have shed some light on the underlying physics and chemistry, and theories have been formulated to explain the generation of the intense radar bac...
متن کاملAnnual and semiannual temperature oscillations in the upper mesosphere
Fourier transform spectrometer observations of the mesosphere have been performed at the University of Michigan (latitude: 421/2 N) on a long term basis. A database of near infrared Meinel hydroxyl spectra has been accumulated from which rotational temperatures have be.en determined. Harmonic analysis of one-day averaged temperatures for the period 1992.0 to 1994.5 has shown a distinct annual a...
متن کاملDiagnosing radio plasma heating in the polar summer mesosphere using cross modulation: Theory and observations
[1] Radio heating of the free electrons in the mesosphere is an important diagnostic technique for the phenomenon of polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE). Due to a lack of suitable observations, the heating must be modeled when studying its effect on PMSE. In order to try to validate these models, the cross‐modulation technique was implemented at the EISCAT facility near Tromsø, Norway to comp...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Water Vapor Layer in the Arctic Summer Mesosphere: Implications for Polar Mesospheric Clouds
We report the discovery of a layer of enhanced water vapor in the Arctic summer mesosphere that was made utilizing two new techniques for remotely determining water vapor abundances. The first utilizes Middle Atmosphere High Resolution Spectrograph Investigation (MAHRSI) OH measurements as a proxy for water vapor. The second is a reanalysis of Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) water vapor ...
