Nicht-zonale Strukturen der Zirkulation der Mesosphäre und unteren Thermosphäre mittlerer Breiten (NOSTHEM)
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
NOSTHEM is a joint project by the Leipzig Institute for Meteorology (LIM), Leipzig University, and Kazan Federal University, Russian Federation, jointly funded by DFG and RFBR. The project made use of observations with two very similar VHF meteor radars (MRs) at similar latitude, but with a 36° difference in longitude, namely the MR at Collm (53°N, 13°E) and the newly installed MR at Kazan (56°N, 49°E), in order to specify the influence of non-zonal structures on mean circulation, waves and tides in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere (MLT). This allowed to estimate the uncertainty of mean climatology and variability observed at single sites in terms of their representativeness for zonal mean values. The analyzed parameters were horizontal winds and temperatures derived from MR, together with winds, geopotential heights and temperatures from satellites. Regular seasonal changes in the difference between the wind parameters at the two sites are owing to ststionay planetary waves (SPWs), especially in winter, but the latitudinal difference in the zonal and meridional flow mean, even for only 5 degree of latitudinal difference, also contributes to a mean difference. Additional MR observations at different longitudes from an extended winter campaign could be used to analyze planetary waves and tidal variability in comparison with the satellite results.
