ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Active remote sensing of the polar middle atmosphere by different lidar experiments in northern Norway

Atmospheric gravity waves have a clear impact on the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. In particular breaking of gravity waves is always accompanied by a negative momentum flux divergence, which essentially is a momentum flux convergence. This leads to an acceleration of the background flo...

Effect of varying topography on the drift in shallow-water waves

All oceanic waves induce a nonperiodic drift current that comes in addition to the periodic motion we usually associate with the waves. Shallow-water waves are waves that are long compared to the water depth, and with a motion that extends all the way dow n to the bottom. Due to frictional forces...
