ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

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...
