Frequency spectra and vertical profiles of wind fluctuations in the summer Antarctic mesosphere revealed by MST radar observations

Continuous observations of polar mesosphere summer echoes at heights from 81–93 km were performed using the first Mesosphere‐Stratosphere‐Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter radar in the Antarctic over the three summer periods of 2013/2014, 2014/2015, and …

Characteristics of Vertical Wind Fluctuations in the Lower Troposphere at Syowa Station in the Antarctic Revealed by the PANSY Radar

Using wind data over three years from July 2012-June 2015 from the PANSY radar, an MST radar, newly installed at Syowa Station (39.59°E, 69.0°S), statistical characteristics of vertical winds and vertical momentum fluxes in the Antarctic lower …

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 …

Program of the Antarctic Syowa MST/IS radar (PANSY)

The PANSY radar is the first Mesosphere–Stratosphere–Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter (MST/IS) radar in the Antarctic region. It is a large VHF monostatic pulse Doppler radar operating at 47 MHz, consisting of an active phased array of 1045 Yagi …

Program of the Antarctic Syowa MST/IS Radar (PANSY radar)

The PANSY radar is the first Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere/Incoherent Scatter (MST/IS) radar in the Antarctic region
