Physic-mathematical modeling of atmospheric tides influence on background circulation and background temperature of lower Earth thermosphere.
Abstract
Nonstationary semiempirical model of: 1) atmospheric thermal tides (ATT) in middle Earth atmosphere conditional on ozone and water vapor absorption; 2) tidal disturbances (TD) gen-erated by global ozone anomalies. Geophysical phenomenon -distant wave action (teleconnec-tion) of Antarctic ozone anomaly on thermal tidal wind structure, background circulation and background temperature in middle-latitude and polar lower thermosphere of northern hemi-sphere, which was not known earlier, and which was found by means of numerical experiments on constructed model and confirmed by observations, is described. Mean zonal numerical cor-recting models of background circulation and background temperature in lower thermosphere due to semidiurnal and diurnal ATT dissipation at these heights are given. It is noted that background temperature corrections reach maximum value of 40-50 degrees in polar lower ther-mosphere of both hemispheres at 110-metricconverterProductID120 km120 km height due to "heating" caused by semidiurnal ATT, both during equinox and solstice.
