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 …

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 …

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 …

Height and time characteristics of seasonal and diurnal variations in PMWE based on 1 year observations by the PANSY radar (69.0°S, 39.6°E)

We report height and time variations in polar mesosphere winter echoes (PMWE) based on the Program of the Antarctic Syowa mesosphere‐stratosphere‐troposphere/incoherent scatter (PANSY) radar observations. PMWE were identified for 110 days from March …
