Investigation of Dynamical Structures with OSIRIS on Odin
Abstract
Limb measurements made with the OSIRIS infrared imager on the Odin satellite provide extensive proxy measurements of mesospheric ozone through observations of the Oxygen Infrared Atmospheric bands. Dynamical structures in mesospheric ozone bearing tidal signatures have been observed, and are the subject of this study. This work presents an analysis of the spatial distributions, time scales, and wavenumber modes of these structures.
