Tropical cyclone “Vayu” generated gravity waves (20–60 min) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere over Kolhapur
Tropical cyclones are one of the potential sources of gravity waves, which can transport energy and momentum to higher heights through their vertical propagation and interaction with the background flow and thereby influence the dynamics of the upper atmosphere. High-resolution wind data acquired by the Medium Frequency (MF) radar at Kolhapur (16.69°N, 74.24°E) are utilized to study the high frequency gravity waves (20–60 min) associated with the tropical cyclone named “Vayu” formed in the Indian Arabian Sea in June 2019. An enhancement of the gravity wave (GW) activities in the meridional wind is observed during 13–15 June 2019. The source of the gravity wave is the tropical Vayu cyclone of category 2 storm. We employed the gravity wave variance data from NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) satellite for our analysis over stratospheric heights. The enhancement of gravity wave variance in both the stratosphere mesosphere heights and the low values of OLR indicate the strong convection associated with cyclone, the source of observed gravity waves. In the present study we analyzed the horizontal propagation direction of the cyclone generated gravity waves using perturbation ellipse, it is found to be in the north–south plane. The temperature profiles obtained from the SABER instrument on board TIMED satellite indicate the presence of mesospheric inversion layer with an amplitude of nearly 40 K on the day of large gravity wave variance (June 13, 2019). These results indicate the cyclone can generate gravity waves which can propagate to higher heights and modify the MLT thermal structure, providing evidence for the vertical coupling between lower and upper atmosphere.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them.
The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
