      We present three eastward-expanding auroral surge (EEAS) events that were observed intermittently at intervals of about 15 min in the post-midnight sector (01:55–02:40 MLT) by all-sky imagers and magnetometers in northern Europe. It was deduced that each surge occurred just after each onset of a multiple-onset substorm, which was small-scale and did not clearly expand westward, because they were ...
    • Identifying gravity waves launched by the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha′apai volcanic eruption in mesosphere/lower-Thermosphere winds derived from CONDOR and the Nordic Meteor Radar Cluster 

      Stober, Gunter; Liu, Alan; Kozlovsky, Alexander; Qiao, Zishun; Krochin, Witali; Shi, Guochun; Kero, Johan; Tsutsumi, Masaki; Gulbrandsen, Njål; Nozawa, Satonori; Lester, Mark; Baumgarten, Kathrin; Belova, Evgenia; Mitchell, Nicholas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-18)
      The Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption was a unique event that caused many atmospheric phenomena around the globe. In this study, we investigate the atmospheric gravity waves in the mesosphere/lowerthermosphere (MLT) launched by the volcanic explosion in the Pacific, leveraging multistatic meteor radar observations from the Chilean Observation Network De Meteor Radars (CONDOR) and the ...
    • Inferring neutral winds in the ionospheric transition region from atmospheric-gravity-wave traveling-ionospheric-disturbance (AGW-TID) observations with the EISCAT VHF radar and the Nordic Meteor Radar Cluster 

      Günzkofer, Florian; Pokhotelov, Dimitry; Stober, Gunter; Mann, Ingrid Brigitte; Vadas, Sharon L.; Becker, Erich; Tjulin, Anders; Kozlovsky, Alexander; Tsutsumi, Masaki; Gulbrandsen, Njål; Nozawa, Satonori; Lester, Mark; Belova, Evgenia; Kero, Johan; Mitchell, Nicholas J.; Borries, Claudia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-18)
      Atmospheric gravity waves and traveling ionospheric disturbances can be observed in the neutral atmosphere and the ionosphere at a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Especially at medium scales, these oscillations are often not resolved in general circulation models and are parameterized. We show that ionospheric disturbances forced by upward-propagating atmospheric gravity waves can be ...
    • Meteor radar vertical wind observation biases and mathematical debiasing strategies including the 3DVAR+DIV algorithm 

      Stober, Gunter; Liu, Alan; Kozlovsky, Alexander; Qiao, Zishun; Kuchar, Ales; Jacobi, Christoph; Meek, Chris; Janches, Diego; Liu, Guiping; Tsutsumi, Masaki; Gulbrandsen, Njål; Nozawa, Satonori; Lester, Mark; Belova, Evgenia; Kero, Johan; Mitchell, Nicholas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-13)
      Meteor radars have become widely used instruments to study atmospheric dynamics, particularly in the 70 to 110 km altitude region. These systems have been proven to provide reliable and continuous measurements of horizontal winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Recently, there have been many attempts to utilize specular and/or transverse scatter meteor measurements to estimate vertical ...
    • Reconstruction of precipitating electrons and three-dimensional structure of a pulsating auroral patch from monochromatic auroral images obtained from multiple observation points 

      Fukizawa, Mizuki; Sakanoi, Takeshi; Tanaka, Yoshimasa; Ogawa, Yasunobu; Hosokawa, Keisuke; Gustavsson, Björn Johan; Kauristie, Kirsti; Kozlovsky, Alexander; Raita, Tero; Brändström, Urban; Sergienko, Tima (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-12)
      In recent years, aurora observation networks using high-sensitivity cameras have been developed in the polar regions. These networks allow dimmer auroras, such as pulsating auroras (PsAs), to be observed with a high signal-to-noise ratio. We reconstructed the horizontal distribution of precipitating electrons using computed tomography with monochromatic PsA images obtained from three observation ...
