The large-scale dynamics of the mesosphere–lower thermosphere during the Southern Hemisphere stratospheric warming of 2002 (original) (raw)

This research investigates the dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) during the significant stratospheric warming in the Southern Hemisphere observed in 2002. Utilizing MF radar observations from key Antarctic locations, it analyzes the unusual responses in the mesosphere to the major warming event and the impact of large planetary wave events. The findings highlight the intricate connections between lower atmospheric dynamics and their effects on the stratosphere and mesosphere.
