CEDAR: Investigation of the Quasi-Two-Day Wave Using a General Circulation Model

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will primarily investigate the dynamical, chemical and coupling effects of the quasi-two-day wave in the middle and upper atmosphere. The PI will accomplish this task by first developing a set of analytical tools designed to aid in the analysis of Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere-Electrodynamics General Circulation Model (TIME-GCM) simulations. These tools, once developed, will be incorporated into the model postprocessor, and made available to the whole CEDAR community. Additionally, model simulations will be validated with data from a set of Global-Scale Wave Model (GSWM) simulations, and data collected from the world day observational period during January 1993. Once the model simulations are validated, the TIME-GCM simulations will be analyzed to unravel the complex interactions which occur in the middle and upper atmosphere relating to the quasi-two-day wave.
