Simultaneous Observation of Near-Inertial Frequency Gravity Waves by a Long-Duration Balloon and the PANSY Radar in the Antarctic

Numerical Simulation of Orographic Gravity Waves Observed Over Syowa Station: Wave Propagation and Breaking in the Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere

A high-resolution model in conjunction with realistic background wind and temperature profiles has been used to simulate gravity waves (GWs) that were observed by an atmospheric radar at Syowa Station, Antarctica on 18 May 2021. The simulation …

Interhemispheric Coupling Study by Observations and Modelling (ICSOM): Concept, Campaigns, and Initial Results

Weakening of PMWE and Turbulent Energy Dissipation Rates after a Stratospheric Sudden Warming in the Southern Hemisphere in 2019

Time variations in the polar mesosphere winter echo (PMWE) volume reflectivity and turbulent energy dissipation rates are examined during the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) in September 2019 in the Southern Hemisphere. It was found that the …

A statistical analysis of the energy dissipation rate estimated from the PMWE spectral width in the Antarctic

The radar volume reflectivity and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate in the Antarctic mesosphere were estimated from the polar mesosphere winter echoes (PMWE) recorded using a vertical beam of the PANSY radar, a …

Estimate of Turbulent Energy Dissipation Rate From the VHF Radar and Radiosonde Observations in the Antarctic

This study estimated the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rates (TKEDRs) from 1‐year observations of the Program of the Antarctic Syowa Mesosphere‐Stratosphere‐Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter radar (PANSY radar) from October 2015 to September 2016 …

Simultaneous observations of polar mesosphere winter echoes and cosmic noise absorptions in a common volume by the PANSY radar (69.0°S, 39.6°E)

This study focuses on the one‐to‐one relationship between the morphology of polar mesosphere winter echo (PMWE) and cosmic noise absorption (CNA) as determined by measurements made with a single atmospheric radar, the Program of the Antarctic Syowa …

Simultaneous observation of gravity waves at PMC altitude from AIM/CIPS experiment and PANSY radar over Syowa (69°S, 39°E)

Simultaneous observation of gravity waves (GWs) in the polar summer mesosphere over Syowa (69°S, 39°E) by a ground-based radar and satellite instrument are presented. On 21 January 2016, at 2.3 UT, the CIPS instrument on the AIM satellite observed …

Characteristics of mesosphere echoes over Antarctica obtained using PANSY and MF radars

We investigated characteristics of mesosphere echoes over Syowa Station (69S) in the Antarctic, which were detected by the Program of the Antarctic Syowa Mesosphere, Stratosphere and Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter (PANSY) radar (47 MHz) and Medium …

Quasi-12h inertia-gravity waves in the lower mesosphere observed by the PANSY radar at Syowa Station (39.6°E, 69.0°S)

The first observations made by a complete PANSY radar system (Program of the Antarctic Syowa MST/IS Radar) installed at Syowa Station (39.6°E, 69.0°S) were successfully performed from 16 to 24 March 2015. Over this period, quasi-half-day period (12 …
