A possible mechanism for in situ forcing of planetary waves in the summer extratropical mesosphere
Geophysical Research Letters 28:7 (2001) 1183-1186
Abstract:
An examination of zonal asymmetries in meridional momentum flux reaching the mesosphere is made using the Hines Doppler spread parameterization of gravity waves. As expected a general correspondence is seen between wave one wind in the stratosphere and wave one signals in gravity wave momentum flux leaving the stratosphere. However, a significant difference is the presence of wave one features in the gravity-wave momentum flux at 56 km and 鈭70掳N during mid-summer which contrast with minimal signals in stratospheric wave one wind. The prominence of this feature is accounted for by a significant wave one Brunt-V盲is盲l盲 feature at the tropopause amplifying a wave one signal in momentum flux which can then propagate to great heights. Such a feature could result in mesospheric planetary waves which are coupled to the tropopause forcing without intervening planetary wave signals in the stratosphere.Model studies of the interannual variability of the northern鈥恏emisphere stratospheric winter circulation: The role of the quasi鈥恇iennial oscillation
