DYNAMICS OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE.
Abstract
It has been shown that longitudinal and temporal changes of total ozone occur in response to circulation patterns and their time changes. Calculations of the non-equilibrium state of ozone show that day-time concentrations must be less than in the case of steady photochemical equilibrium. The importance of the 12- and 24-hourly tides in the interpretation of wind observations at 80-100 km has been demonstrated on the basis of radio meteor observations. Approximation formulae have been developed for the study of internal gravity waves in a non-isothermal atmosphere. The wave structure of noctilucent clouds has been interpreted.
