“…Later, satellite temperature measurements provided a more global view on atmospheric dynamics. Equatorial atmospheric waves have been investigated using satellite data from Nimbus-7 LIMS (Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere; Salby et al, 1984), the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS; Mote et al, 2002), SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry; Ern et al, 2008;Ern and Preusse, 2009), and High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS; Alexander and Ortland, 2010). Furthermore, several studies on atmospheric Kelvin waves are based on analysis or reanalysis data from numerical weather prediction (NWP) centers (Tindall et al, 2006;Suzuki and Shiotani, 2008;Suzuki et al, 2010;Fujiwara et al, 2012;Flannaghan and Fueglistaler, 2013).…”
