• Seasonal variations of the semi-diurnal and diurnal tides in the MLT: multi-year MF radar observations from 2–70 N, modelled tides (GSWM, CMAM) 

      Hall, Chris; Manson, A.H.; Meek, C.; Hagan, M.; Koshyk, J.; Franke, S.; Fritts, D.; Hocking, W.; Igarashi, K.; MacDougall, J.; Riggin, D.; Vincent, R. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2002)
      In an earlier paper (Manson et al., 1999a) tidal data (1990–1997) from six Medium Frequency Radars (MFR) were compared with the Global Scale Wave Model (GSWM, original 1995 version). The radars are located between the equator and high northern latitudes: Christmas Island (2° N), Hawaii (22° N), Urbana (40° N), London (43° N), Saskatoon (52° N) and Tromsø (70° N). Common harmonic analysis was applied, ...
    • Winter warmings, tides and planetary waves. Comparisions between CMAM (with interactive chemistry) and MFR-MetO observations and data. 

      Manson, A.H.; Hall, Chris; Meek, C.; Chshyolkova, T.; McLandress, C.; Avery, S.K.; Fritts, D.C.; Hocking, W.K.; Igarashi, K.; MacDougall, J.W.; Murayama, Y.; Riggin, D.C.; Thorsen, D.; Vincent, R.A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006-10-20)
      Following earlier comparisons using the Canadian Middle Atmosphere Model (CMAM, without interactive chemistry), the dynamical characteristics of the model are assessed with interactive chemistry activated. Time-sequences of temperatures and winds at Tromsø (70° N) show that the model has more frequent and earlier stratospheric winter warmings than typically observed. Wavelets at mesospheric heights ...
