Impacts of Tropical Convection on the Atmosphere and Ionosphere, Phase 2
Abstract
The aims of this project were to 1) use data acquired in the DAWEX Campaign of 2001 to investigate in detail the generation of gravity waves by intense convection in Northern Australia; 2) use equatorial radar observations of winds in the 70 - 100 km range of the atmosphere to investigate the spectrum of gravity waves reaching the lower thermosphere; and 3) make combined observations of gravity waves and ionospheric irregularities in the central Pacific to see whether gravity wave sources can be identified with the generation of specific equatorial spread-F/plasma bubble events.
