There is clear evidence of a quasi-90-day oscillation in temperatures obtained from the Kunming meteor radar(25.6°N, 103.8°E) and Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry(SABER), as well as in wind observed by the Kunming meteor radar. The quasi-90-day oscillation appears to be a prominent feature in the temperatures and meridional wind tides and presents quite regular cycles that occur approximately twice per year. The amplitudes and phases of the quasi-90-day oscillation in the SABER temperature show a feature similar to that of upward-propagated diurnal tides, which have a vertical wavelength of ~20 km above 70 km. In the lower atmosphere, a similar 90-day variability is presented in the surface latent heat flux and correlates with the temperature in the MLT region. Similar to the quasi-90-day oscillation in temperature, a 90-day variability of ozone(O3) is also present in the MLT region and is considered to be driven by a similar variability in the upwardly-propagated diurnal tides generated in the lower atmosphere. Moreover, the 90-day variability in the absorption of ultraviolet(UV) radiation by daytime O3 in the MLT region is an in situ source of the quasi-90-day oscillation in the MLT temperature.展开更多

文摘By using atmospheric wind data in the mesopause and lower thermosphere(MLT)region,features of seasonal variations in the quasi-6-day wave(6DW)at different latitudes are analyzed,and modulation of the 6DW by the diurnal tide and solar 27-day period is discussed.The data used in the analysis are extracted from a wind dataset collected by a meteor radar chain from December 2008 to November 2017.The meteor radar chain includes four stations,in Mohe,Beijing,Wuhan,and Sanya.Features of seasonal variations in the 6DW indicate that in summer the 6DW is usually strongest during July and August,followed by stronger variations in January and April.At certain altitudes over Wuhan and Sanya,the 6DW is slightly different in different years and altitudes.In our analysis of seasonal variations in the 6DW,we find that it is generally affected by annual oscillations and semiannual oscillations.The annual oscillations of the 6DW in the mid-low latitudes are modulated by the quasibiennial oscillation in the diurnal tide,resulting in seasonal features that are different from those at other latitudes.In addition,the 6DW amplitude at mid-high latitudes has a significant 27-day solar rotation variation,which was prominent in 2016.
