ABSTRACT

Rind et al. 1981

Rind, D., W.L. Donn, and W. Robinson, 1981: Stratospheric variability in summer. J. Appl. Meteorol., 20, 900-909, doi:10.1175/1520-0450(1981)020<0900:SVIS>2.0.CO;2.

Rocketsonde observations and infrasound results are used to investigate the variability of the summer stratopause region during one month in summer. It is found that fluctuations of 2-3 days and about 16-day periods are evident, which appear to be vertically propagating. In this month the 2-3 day oscillations have an amplitude envelope equal in period to the longer period oscillations, implying a connection between the two phenomena. Observations of the diurnal tide and shorter period variability during the month are also presented.
