Satellite observations of gravity waves, generated by convective storms into the upper atmosphere
Original language description
By the end of 1980’s, convective storms have been identified as a source of concentric gravity waves (CGW), occasionally affecting atmospheric nightglow layers. Since then, various methods of gravity wave detection in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere have significantly evolved and improved, including satellite observations. Among the satellite methods, nocturnal low-light observations by Day/Night Band (DNB) of the Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 (JPSS-1) satellites, and observations by hyperspectral sounders aboard some of the low-Earth orbit satellites belong among the most recent ones. This work focuses on DNB-based observations of CGW in nightglow emissions near the mesopause and early statistics of their global occurrence, and for several cases documents their detection in AIRS/Aqua and IASI/Metop hyperspectral data.
