Journal ArticleDOI
Large‐Amplitude Mountain Waves in the Mesosphere Observed on 21 June 2014 During DEEPWAVE: 2. Nonlinear Dynamics, Wave Breaking, and Instabilities
David C. Fritts,Ling Wang,Michael J. Taylor,Pierre-Dominique Pautet,Neal R. Criddle,Bernd Kaifler,Stephen D. Eckermann,B. Liley +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere responses were observed by ground-based instruments in the lee of the Southern Alps supporting DEEPWAVE, including an Advanced Mesosphere Temperature Mapper, a Rayleigh lidar, an All-Sky Imager, and a Fabry-Perot Interferometer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ruth S. Lieberman,Walter A. Robinson,Steven J. Franke,Robert A. Vincent,Joseph R. Isler,David C. Fritts,A. H. Manson,Chris Meek,Grahame J. Fraser,A. Fahrutdinova,Wayne K. Hocking,Thayananthan Thayaparan,John MacDougall,Kiyoshi Igarashi,Takuji Nakamura,Toshitaka Tsuda +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) measurements of daytime and nighttime winds at 95 km are used to deduce seasonally averaged Eulerian mean meridional winds during six solstice periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coordinated Observations of 8- and 6-hr Tides in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere by Three Meteor Radars Near 60°S Latitude
Guiping Liu,Guiping Liu,Diego Janches,Ruth S. Lieberman,Tracy Moffat-Griffin,David C. Fritts,Nicholas J. Mitchell +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the climatology of these oscillations in the altitude range from ~82-97 km in the mesosphere 13 and lower thermosphere through the analysis of the coordinated observations by three meteor radars located at Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego (TDF; 53.7°S, 67.5°S) in Argentina, King Edward Point station (KEP; 54.3°S), 36.5ºS, and Rothera station (ROT; 67.0°W) on Adelaide Island

TL;DR: The spread F Experiment (or SpreadFEx) as discussed by the authors performed an extensive experimental campaign from September to November 2005 to define the role of neutral atmosphere dynamics, specifically wave motions propagating upward from the lower atmosphere, in seeding equatorial spread F and plasma bubbles extending to higher altitudes.
