It has been known for at least 30 years that vertically narrow thermal layers form within the
middle atmosphere. Two types of temperature enhancements, the low‐latitude to midlatitude …

An active topic of current research in aeronomy is the study of the dynamics of the
mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) from 60 to 130 km, especially in regard to the …

The functioning of ecosystems is strongly correlated to soil temperature dynamics. Because
only a few studies so far have investigated the spatio-temporal variability of alpine soil …

The recent results of observed mesospheric temperature inversions are presented. Using
two Rayleigh lidars (located in the south of France) and ISAMS (Improved Stratospheric And …

The observed cold temperatures in the summer mesosphere are dynamically maintained
primarily through upwelling induced in response to the action of a zonal drag force caused …

During gravity wave breaking, heating rates are determined by wave advection, turbulent
diffusion, and turbulence dissipative heating. A series of numerical experiments show that …

An anelastic numerical model is employed to explore the dynamics of gravity waves (GWs)
encountering a mesosphere inversion layer (MIL) having a moderate static stability …

Temperature lidar data have been simulated in order to test the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
(JPL) SO3ANL version 3.2 and Service d'Aeronomie du Centre National de la Recherche …

A surface energy balance model (SEB), describing the fluxes of latent and sensible heat as
well as the ground heat flux at different surfaces, was developed to simulate substrate …

From 19 November to 19 December 2010 the fourth and final ECOMA rocket campaign was
conducted at Andøya Rocket Range (69° N, 16° E) in northern Norway. We present and …
