Abstract:Abstract. Large wind shears around the mesopause region play important roles in atmospheric neutral dynamics and ionospheric electrodynamics. Based on previous observations using sounding rockets, lidars, radars and model simulations, large shears are mainly attributed to gravity waves (GWs) and modulated by tides (Liu, 2017). Based on the dispersion and polarization relations of linear GWs and the SABER temperature data from 2002 to 2019, a method of deriving GW-induced wind shears is proposed. The zo… Show more
