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 …

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 …

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 …

In order to measure the variance of wind velocity, which is contributed from turbulence, via radar observations, it is necessary to remove the unwanted contribution from strong horizontal velocity components through the finite beamwidth of the radar. …

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 …
