Breaking planetary waves in the stratosphere
Nature, 1983 Satellite-borne IR radiometers are turning the Earth's stratosphere into one of the best available outdoor laboratories for observing the large-scale dynamics of a rotating, heterogeneous fluid under gravity. New insight is being gained not only into stratospheric dynamics as such, with its implications for pollutant behaviour and the ozone layer, but ...

Observing System Simulation Experiment to Reproduce Kelvin Wave in the Venus Atmosphere
Atmosphere, 2020 Planetary-scale 4-day Kelvin-type waves at the cloud top of the Venus atmosphere have been reported from the 1980s, and their significance for atmospheric dynamics has been pointed out.

Stratospheric tropical warming event and its impact on the polar and tropical troposphere [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Stratosphere–troposphere coupling is investigated in relation to middle atmospheric subtropical jet (MASTJ) variations in boreal winter. An exceptional strengthening of the MASTJ occurred in association with a sudden equatorward shift of the ...

A dynamics-based separation of deep and shallow stratospheric circulation branches [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsThe wave-driven Brewer–Dobson circulation plays a crucial role in determining the transport of trace gases and aerosols in the stratosphere. We examine the structure of the circulation based on reanalysis data (ERA5, ERA-Interim, MERRA2, and JRA55) and ...

Features of 3–7-day planetary-wave-type oscillations in F-layer vertical drift and equatorial spread F observed over two low-latitude stations in China [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2017 Recent studies on the equatorial atmosphere–ionosphere coupling system have shown that planetary-wave-type oscillations, as an important seeding mechanism for equatorial spread F (ESF), play an important role in ESF irregularity development and its ...

Assessing the role of planetary and gravity waves in the vertical structure of ozone over midlatitudinal Europe [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Planetary and gravity waves play an important role in the dynamics of the atmosphere. They are present in the atmospheric distribution of temperature, wind, and ozone content.
