      Stober, Gunter; Kozlovsky, A.; Liu, Alan; Qiao, Zishun; Tsutsumi, Masaki; Hall, Chris; Nozawa, Satonori; Lester, Mark; Belova, Evgenia; Kero, Johan; Espy, Patrick Joseph; Hibbins, Robert E.; Mitchell, N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-08)
      Ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric parameters is often limited to single station observations by vertical profiles at a certain geographic location. This is a limiting factor for investigating gravity wave dynamics as the spatial information is often missing, e.g., horizontal wavelength, propagation direction or intrinsic frequency. In this study, we present a new retrieval algorithm for ...

    • Development of the mesospheric Na layer at 69 degrees N during the Geminids meteor shower 2010 

      Dunker, Tim; Hoppe, Ulf-Peter; Stober, Gunter; Rapp, Markus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The ECOMA sounding rocket campaign in 2010 was performed to investigate the charge state and number density of meteoric smoke particles during the Geminids meteor shower in December 2010. The ALOMAR Na lidar contributed to the campaign with measurements of sodium number density, temperature and line-of-sight wind between 80 and 110 km altitude over Andøya in northern Norway. This paper ...
    • 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 ...
    • Retrieving horizontally resolved wind fields using multi-static meteor radar observations 

      Stober, Gunter; Chau, Jorge L.; Vierinen, Juha; Jacobi, Christoph; Wilhelm, Sven (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-27)
      Recently, the MMARIA (Multi-static, Multi-frequency Agile Radar for Investigations of the Atmosphere) concept of a multi-static VHF meteor radar network to derive horizontally resolved wind fields in the mesosphere–lower thermosphere was introduced. Here we present preliminary results of the MMARIA network above Eastern Germany using two transmitters located at Juliusruh and Collm, and five receiving ...
