Observations of Ultrafast Kelvin Wave Breaking in the Mars Thermosphere
Abstract
This study shows Ultrafast Kelvin Waves (UFKWs) as being the dominant source of day-to-day variability from low to high latitudes during Southern Summer. UFKWs propagate freely below 170 km, above which they rapidly dissipate.
