Limited angle tomography of mesoscale gravity waves by the infrared limb-sounder GLORIA [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 Three-dimensional measurements of gravity waves are required in order to quantify their direction-resolved momentum fluxes and obtain a better understanding of their propagation characteristics.

Satellite observations of middle atmosphere–thermosphere vertical coupling by gravity waves [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are essential for the dynamics of the middle atmosphere. Recent studies have shown that these waves are also important for the thermosphere/ionosphere (T/I) system. Via vertical coupling, GWs can significantly influence

Stratospheric water vapour and ozone response to the quasi-biennial oscillation disruptions in 2016 and 2020 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) is a major mode of climate variability in the tropical stratosphere with quasi-periodically descending westerly and easterly winds, modulating transport and distributions of key greenhouse gases such as water vapour ...

Tracking the Stratosphere‐to‐Surface Impact of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021 AbstractSudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events are extreme atmospheric regimes which can have a signature in surface weather up to 40 days after event onset in the stratosphere. SSWs can be classified as either vortex splitting or vortex displacement events, with the nature and timing of the surface impact potentially being different between the two.

El Niño Southern Oscillation influence on the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 We analyse the influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the atmospheric circulation and the mean ozone distribution in the tropical and subtropical UTLS region.

Superposition of gravity waves with different propagation characteristics observed by airborne and space-borne infrared sounders [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 Many gravity wave analyses, based on either observations or model simulations, assume the presence of only a single dominant wave. This paper shows that there are much more complex cases with gravity waves from multiple sources crossing each others ...

How stratospheric are deep stratospheric intrusions? LUAMI 2008 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Abstract. A large-scale comparison of water-vapour vertical-sounding instruments took place over central Europe on 17 October 2008, during a rather homogeneous deep stratospheric intrusion event (LUAMI, Lindenberg Upper-Air Methods Intercomparison). The measurements were carried out at four observational sites: Payerne (Switzerland), Bilthoven (the ...
