Description
Summary:ERA5 overviews to associate stratospheric gravity waves in temperature measurements from vertically staring ground-based Rayleigh lidars with atmospheric processes. Animations are for a virtual lidar location over the Southern Ocean during research flight RF25 of the DEEPWAVE campaign (July 17 to 19, 2014) and for the location of the COmpact Rayleigh Autonomous Lidar (CORAL) in the lee of the southern Andes. Here, the first overview is for the CORAL measurement from June 22 to 23, 2018. The second one is for the nightly measurements between August 7 and 9, 2020. (a) and (b) emulate the measurement of a vertically staring ground-based lidar and show temperature perturbations after subtracting a temporal running mean of 12h (a) and the mean absolute temperature profile (b). Panels (c) and (d) are vertical sections of stratospheric ????′ along sectors of the latitude circle (c) and meridian (d) of the virtual lidar location. (e) and (f) are corresponding vertical sections of thermal stability ????2 (10−4 s−2, ...
