Latitudinal wave coupling of the stratosphere and mesosphere during the major stratospheric warming in 2003/2004
The coupling of the dynamical regimes in the high- and low-latitude stratosphere and mesosphere during the major SSW in the Arctic winter of 2003/2004 has been studied. The UKMO zonal wind data were used to explore the latitudinal coupling in the stratosphere, while the coupling in the mesospher...

| description | The coupling of the dynamical regimes in the
high- and low-latitude stratosphere and mesosphere during the major SSW in
the Arctic winter of 2003/2004 has been studied. The UKMO zonal wind data
were used to explore the latitudinal coupling in the stratosphere, while the
coupling in the mesosphere was investigated by neutral wind measurements
from eleven radars situated at high, high-middle and tropical latitudes. It
was found that the inverse relationship between the variability of the zonal
mean flows at high- and low-latitude stratosphere related to the SSW is
produced by global-scale zonally symmetric waves. Their origin and other
main features have been investigated in detail. Similar latitudinal
dynamical coupling has been found for the mesosphere as well. Indirect
evidence for the presence of zonally symmetric waves in the mesosphere has
been found. |
