Winds and waves (4 min - 11 yrs) in the upper middle atmosphere (60-110 km) at Saskatoon, Canada (52 deg N, 107 deg W): MF radar (2.2 MHz) soundings 1973 - 1983
Abstract
Examples of gravity waves (GW), tides, planetary waves (PW), and circulation effects in the upper middle atmosphere are presented. Energy densities of GW, tides, and PW are compared. Fourier and spectral analyses are applied to the data.
