An Observational Study of Mesoscale Variability in the Mesosphere over Hawaii

我们建议进行中尺度源的研究 中层高度重力波的变率。 的 本研究的中层风数据将从一个高频卫星获得， 年9月，安装在夏威夷考艾岛上的雷达 1990. 从该雷达观测到的重力波活动将是 参照可能的锋面、对流和急流进行检查 流波源 我们打算使用天气预报，无线电探空仪， 卫星图像数据在寻找这些来源。 我们将 还对间隔天线漂移进行了严格的检查 (SAD)关于在中部测风的技术 气氛

We propose to conduct a study of the sources due to mesoscale variability of gravity waves at mesospheric heights. The mesospheric wind data for this study will be obtained from an HF radar installed on the island of Kauai, Hawaii in September of 1990. Gravity wave activity observed from this radar will be examined with reference to possible frontal, convective, and jet stream wave sources. We intend to use synoptic, radiosonde, and satellite imaging data in the search for these sources. We will also conduct a critical examination of the spaced antenna drift (SAD) technique in regard to measuring winds in the middle atmosphere.
