Interaction of the quasi two-day wave with other planetary waves in the middle atmosphere

Fröhlich, Kristina 21 March 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Die nichtlineare Wechselwirkung der Quasi Zwei-Tage-Welle (QZTW) mit anderen planetaren Wellen führt zu wesentlichen Amplitudenmodulationen der Zwei-Tage Welle und zu einer Reihe auftretender sekundärer Wellen. die Ergebnisse der verschiedenen Experimte zur Wechselwirkung der Quasi Zwei-Tage Welle mit jeweils der 10-Tage Welle, der 16-Tage Welle und der 5-Tage Welle zeigen, dass die Amplitude der QZTW unter der Wechselwirkung mit der der 16-Tage Welle und der 10-Tage Welle um bis zu 20 % reduziert wird. Die stationäre planetare Welle mit der zonalen Wellenzahl 1 (SPW1) scheint die wichtigste Rolle bei den nichtlinearen Wechselwirkungen mit der QZTW zu spielen, da die daraus entstehenden sekundären Wellen mit den Wellenzahlen 2 und 4 dieselbe Periode wie die QZTW haben. Die Überlagerung der Quasi Zwei-Tage Welle und ihrer sekundären Wellen verstärkt die Amplitude um bis zu 60 %. / The non-linear interaction of the quasi two-day wave (QTDW) with other planetary waves leads to remarkable amplitude modulations of the QTDW and to arising secondary waves. Results of several numerical experiments considering the behaviour of the QTDW in connection with the 16-, 10-, and 5-day wave have shown that the amplitude of the QTDW reduces under interaction with the 16DW and 10DW. The stationary planetary wave with zonal wave number 1 (SPW1) seems to play the most important role, because resulting secondary waves exhibit the same period as the QTDW. The superposition of these waves leads to an enhancement of the QTDW-amplitude up to 60 %. This means, that a strong amplification of the QTDW measured by RADAR instruments can be due to interaction between the QTDW and a strong SPW1.

Dynamics of the stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere

Sandford, David J. January 2008 (has links)
This thesis presents observations of the dynamical features of the stratosphere, mesosphere and lower thermosphere. These are made from various observational techniques and model comparisons. A focus of the work is the two-day wave at high latitudes in the MLT region. This has revealed significant wave amplitudes in both summer and winter. However, these waves are shown to have very different origins. Using satellite data, the summertime wave is found to be the classic quasi-two-day wave which maximises at mid-latitudes in the MLT region. The wintertime wave is found to be a mesospheric manifestation of an eastward-propagating wave originating in the stratosphere and likely generated by barotropic and baroclinic instabilities in the polar night jet. The horizontal winds from Meteor and MF radars have been used to measure and produce climatologies of the Lunar M2 tide at Esrange in the Arctic (68°N), Rothera and Davis in the Antarctic (68°S), Castle Eaton at mid-latitude (52°N) and Ascension Island at Equatorial latitudes (8°S). These observations present the longest period of lunar semi-diurnal tidal observations in the MLT region to date, with a 16-year dataset from the UK meteor radar. Comparisons with the Vial and Forbes (1994) lunar tidal model are also made which reveal generally good agreement. Non-migrating lunar tides have been investigated. This uses lunar tidal results from equatorial stations, including the Ascension Island (8°S) meteor radar. Also lunar tidal results from the Rothera meteor wind radar (68°S, 68°W) and the Davis MF radar (68°S, 78°E) are considered. Both of these stations are on the edge of the Antarctic continent. It is demonstrated that there are often consistent tidal phase offsets between similar latitude stations. This suggests that non-migrating modes are likely to be present in the lunar semi-diurnal tidal structure and have significant amplitudes.

The quasi two-day wave

Fröhlich, Kristina, Jacobi, Christoph, Lange, Martin, Pogoreltsev, Alexander 05 January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
The quasi two-day wave (QTDW), a prominent feature of the mesosphere mainly around solstices, is simulated with the COMMA-LIM Model (Cologne Model of the Middle Atmosphere - Leipzig Institute for Meteorology). The calculations are made approximately one month after the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere when the QTDW reaches its maximum in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The results show that the QTDW produces a moderate westward forcing of the zonally averaged flow and a poleward driving of the residual mean meridional circulation. / Die Quasi Zwei-Tage Welle (QTDW), eine deutliche Erscheinung in der Mesosphäre kurz nach dem Sommer Solstitium, wird mit dem COMMA-LIM Modell (Cologne Model of the Middle Atmosphere - Leipzig Institute for Meteorology) simuliert. Die Zwei-Tage Welle wurde unter Juli-Bedingungen an der unteren Modellgrenze angeregt, zu der Zeit, zu der sie ihr Maximum in der Mesosphäre und unteren Thermosphäre erreicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine sich westwärts ausbreitende Welle, die auf den Grundstrom eine moderate Beschleunigung nach Westen ausübt. Die residuelle mittlere Meridional Zirkulation erfährt dadurch eine zum Pol gerichtete Triebkraft.
