Mesospheric and thermospheric observations of the January 2010 stratospheric warming event
We use two ground based Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI) at Boulder (40°N, 105°W), Resolute (75°N, 95°W), and a meteor radar at Bear Island (75°N, 19°E) to examine the mesospheric and thermospheric winds during a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event in January 2010. The two high latitude wind i...
