Abstract
Atmospheric migrating diurnal tide (DW1) is one of the prominent variabilities in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). The existence of the solar cycle dependence of DW1 is debated, and there exist different and even opposite findings at different latitudes. In this paper, the solar cycle dependence of temperature DW1 in the equatorial mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) is investigated using temperature global observations from TIMED/SABER spanning 22 years (2002–2023). The results show that (a) the solar cycle dependence of temperature DW1 is seen very clearly at the equator. The maximum correlation coefficient between DW1 and the F10.7 index occurs at 87km, with 0.72; the second maximum coefficient occurs at 99 km, with 0.62. The coefficient could reach 0.87 at 87 km and 0.67 at 99 km after dropping the years influenced by the Stratosphere Quasi-biennial oscillation (SQBO) disruption event. (b) DW1 shows a lag response to the solar cycle at the equator. DW1 amplitudes show a 1-year lag to the F10.7 index at 87 km and a 2-year lag to the F10.7 index at 99 km.
期刊介绍:
Remote Sensing (ISSN 2072-4292) publishes regular research papers, reviews, letters and communications covering all aspects of the remote sensing process, from instrument design and signal processing to the retrieval of geophysical parameters and their application in geosciences. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish experimental, theoretical and computational results in as much detail as possible so that results can be easily reproduced. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
