Dynamics and remote sensing of the middle atmosphere; Proceedings of the Fifth Scientific Assembly, Prague, Czechoslovakia, August 5-17, 1985
Abstract
Papers are presented on the gravity wave motions at 60-110 km; longitudinal differences and interannual variations of zonal wind in the tropical stratosphere and troposphere; transport and photochemical effects observed in stratospheric NO2 amounts; and the climatic wind regime in the lower thermosphere derived from meteor radar observations. Topics discussed include long term periodicities in lower thermospheric wind variations; mean geopotential fields for the lower thermosphere of the Southern Hemisphere; tides in the 80-100 km height region; and the stratospheric winter polar vortex simulated as a material entity. Consideration is given to the effects of Doppler shift on gravity wave spectra observed by MST radar; the wintertime D-region; middle and upper atmosphere radar data; and high resolution turbulence observations in the middle and lower atmosphere.
