Gravity-wave sources and scales in the Polar Regions and their effect on Polar Mesospheric Clouds

Polar Mesospheric Clouds (PMC) are tenuous ice clouds forming in the polar regions near 81 km during the summer months in conditions resulting from the dynamic wave forcing of this region. PMC are at the limits of their existence, and changes in their den sity or occurrence rate have been cited a...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Ground or sea based validation of Earth Care aerosol information for atmospheric correction over coastal waters.

Remote sensing is used more and more to provide information about water constituents (chlorophyll, sediments, detritus). The major component of the satellite signal is due to atmospheric scattering and absorption. Atmospheric correction is therefore a key issue. Particularly in coastal regions, ...

Lidar observations of temperature, Na-density, and winds 80 to 110 km over ALOMAR in northern Norway

Atmospheric gravity waves have a significant impact on the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. For instance breaking gravity waves lead to a negative momentum flux divergence, i.e. momentum flux convergence. This leads to an acceleration of the background flow. Due to the filtering of gravity wav...
