Tidal activity in the meteor zone over Budrio, Italy

Creators

Description

A brief survey is presented of the variations with time and height of atmospheric tides observed at Budrio (45 deg N, 12 deg E) in the wind field between 80 and 110 km altitude during the 1978 to 1982 year period. Variations of amplitude maxima mainly of the semidiurnal tide in the winter data of 1979 and 1980 show periodicities of a few days throughout the observing period. Upward propagation of tidal energy during a stratospheric warming in January 1982 is proposed to be inhibited because of instabilities in atmospheric conditions
