The quality of the retrieved temperature‐versus‐pressure (or T (p)) profiles is described for
the middle atmosphere for the publicly available Sounding of the Atmosphere using …

We have used the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) to calculate the
distribution of CO2 and CO in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), and we have …

A time-resolved model of the Na layer in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region is
described, where the continuity equations for the major sodium species Na, Na+ and …

In the upper atmosphere, greenhouse gases produce a cooling effect, instead of a warming
effect. Increases in greenhouse gas concentrations are expected to induce substantial …

Satellite observations indicate that quasi-stationary planetary waves often exist to at least
100 km in the winter mesosphere. Waves are also seen in the summer upper mesosphere. A …

The greenhouse effect, commonly associated with lower-atmospheric warming, manifests as
cooling in the middle and upper atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the main cooler and its …

The kinetic temperature, T k, and carbon dioxide, CO 2 density, are key parameters that
characterize the energetics and dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere …

This paper is based on a tutorial presentation given at the 2001 CEDAR (Coupling
Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) workshop. It gives an overview of …

This paper discusses the formation mechanisms of infrared radiation in the mesosphere and
lower thermosphere (MLT), the energetic effects of the radiative absorption/emission …
