    • Four dimensional quantification of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the polar summer mesosphere using volumetric radar imaging 

      Chau, Jorge L.; Urco, Miguel; Avsarkisov, Victor; Vierinen, Juha; Latteck, Ralph; Hall, Chris; Tsutsumi, Masaki (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-13)
      We present and characterize in time and three spatial dimensions a Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability (KHI) event from polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) observed with the Middle Atmosphere Alomar Radar System. We use a newly developed radar imaging mode, which observed PMSE intensity and line of sight velocity with high temporal and angular resolution. The identified KHI event occurs in a narrow layer ...

    • Horizontal Correlation Functions of Wind Fluctuations in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere 

      Poblet, Facundo L.; Vierinen, Juha; Avsarkisov, Victor; Conte, J. Federico; Charuvil Asokan, Harikrishnan; Jacobi, Christoph; Chau, Jorge L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-01)
      Measurements of kinetic energy in vortical and divergent fluctuations in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere can be used to study stratified turbulence (ST) and gravity waves. This can be done using horizontal correlation functions of the fluctuating component of velocity. This study introduces a novel method for estimating these correlation functions using radars that observe Doppler shifts ...

    • Horizontal Wavenumber Spectra of Vertical Vorticity and Horizontal Divergence of Mesoscale Dynamics in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere Using Multistatic Specular Meteor Radar Observations 

      Poblet, Facundo; Chau, Jorge L.; Conte, J. F.; Avsarkisov, Victor; Vierinen, Juha; Asokan, Harikrishnan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-24)
      Specular meteor radars (SMRs) have significantly contributed to the understanding of wind dynamics in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). We present a method to estimate horizontal correlations of vertical vorticity (Qzz) and horizontal divergence (P) in the MLT, using line-of-sight multistatic SMRs velocities, that consists of three steps. First, we estimate 2D, zonal, and meridional ...

    • Observing Mesospheric Turbulence With Specular Meteor Radars: A Novel Method for Estimating Second-Order Statistics of Wind Velocity 

      Vierinen, Juha; Chau, Jorge L.; Charuvil, Harikrishnan; Urco, Miguel; Clahsen, Matthias; Avsarkisov, Victor; Marino, Raffaele; Volz, Ryan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-07)
      There are few observational techniques for measuring the distribution of kinetic energy within the mesosphere with a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. <br>This study describes a method for estimating the three‐dimensional mesospheric wind field correlation function from specular meteor trail echoes. Each radar echo provides a measurement of a one‐dimensional projection of the wind velocity ...
