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 …

Water Vapor in the Upper Troposphere above Syowa Station in the Antarctic: Its Variations and Causes

Dynamical analysis of tropopause folding events in the coastal region of Antarctica

Tropopause folding events (TFs) are characterized by the rapid and deep descent of the tropopause and is considered to play a significant role in mass exchange between the stratosphere and troposphere. In the present study, TFs occurring in the …
