Main Goals Quantification of the gravity waves (GW) activity and their corresponding momentum flux in the MLT region with radar and lidar observations at mid and high latitudes. Investigation of the semidiurnal solar and lunar tides in the MLT region during sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW) and their relation to splitting and displacing stratospheric polar vortex events, using observations and simulations. Evaluation of the observed MLT solar and lunar tides during SSW and non-SSW events on the I/T weather, by comparing special WACCM-X – TIMEGCM simulations with satellite and ground-based I/T observations.

Kathrin Baumgarten (see Poster) T‘ (daily mean) - unfiltered Vert. filtered (λz< 15 km) Unfiltered data (i.e. GW plus tides) an vertically filtered data (i.e. mainly inertia GW) show a clear minimum during summer Temporally filtered ( < 8 h) Short periodic GWs do not show a large variation No clear annual variation in the temporally filtered data from Baumgarten et al. [2017] SPP Colloquium 14.06.2017, Bremen

Climatology of semidiurnal lunar and solar tides The most active periods of the semidiurnal lunar and solar tides in the SH strongly depend on the geographical location. M2 shows stronger amplitudes during Summer, over Davis Winter, over Rio Grande Both, observations and simulations show an enhancement of M2 over Rio Grande during 2013 SSW time period.

Semidiurnal solar tides during the fall transition SPP Colloquium 14.06.2017, Bremen En el HS no es claro el decrecimiento de SW2 durante ninguna de las dos transiciones. Al mirar el comportamiento de los vientos simulados por HAMMONIA (sin procesar), se puede apreciar una clara simetría entre ambas transiciones. En cambio, en le HN el comportamiento de los vientos no es tan simétrico (e/ las transiciones), destacándose un predominio de eastward wind en octubre, en la estratosfera; mientras que en marzo no es tan intenso el viento eastward. Además, en la mesosfera, en marzo, destaca viento meridional hacia el ecuador.

Schmidt (MPI, Hamburg) SPP Colloquium 14.06.2017, Bremen En latitudes medias a altas del HN, durante abril/mayo hay una fuerte variabilidad en la concentración del ozono (que es el principal responsible de la formación de SW2). Esto no se ve en septiembre/octubre (ver paper de Smyshlyaev, University of Saint Petersburg).
