“…As a kind of global wave component from the stratosphere to the MLT, 6.5DW traces have been widely detected in several atmospheric parameters, such as zonal wind (10-30 m/s) [Wu et al, 1994;Meyer and Forbes, 1997;Talaat et al, 2001;Kishore et al, 2004;Lima et al, 2005;Jiang et al, 2008;Day et al, 2012], meridional winds (10-20 m/s) [Wu et al, 1994;Talaat et al, 2001], temperature (10-15 K) [Talaat et al, 2001;Riggin et al, 2006;Day et al, 2012], atomic oxygen (~4 × 10 5 m À6 ) [Talaat et al, 2001], and occurrences of the sporadic E (Es) layer [Zuo and Wan, 2008]. In polar summer mesopause regions, 6.5DWs are even found to modulate short-term variations of polar mesospheric clouds [Merkel et al, 2003[Merkel et al, , 2008von Savigny et al, 2007;Nielsen et al, 2010] and polar mesospheric summer echoes [Kirkwood and Réchou, 1998;Kirkwood et al, 2002].…”
