Climatology of Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere Residual Circulations and Mesopause Height Derived From SABER Observations

In the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region, residual circulations driven by gravity wave breaking and dissipation significantly impact constituent distribution and the height and temperature of the mesopause. The distribution of CO2 can be used as a proxy for the residual circulations. Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) CO2 volume mixing ratio (VMR) and temperature measurements from 2003 to 2020 are used to study the monthly climatology of MLT residual circulations and the mesopause height. Our analyses show that (a) mesopause height strongly correlates with the CO2 VMR vertical gradient during solstices; (b) mesopause height has a discontinuity at midlatitude in the summer hemisphere, with a lower mesopause height at mid-to-high latitudes as a result of adiabatic cooling driven by strong adiabatic upwelling; (c) the residual circulations have strong seasonal variations at mid-to-high latitudes, but they are more uniform at low latitudes; and (d) the interannual variability of the residual circulations and mesopause height is larger in the Southern Hemisphere (SH; 4–5 km) than in the Northern Hemisphere (NH; 0.5–1 km).

SABER Ground Calibration Report

NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) awarded contract NAS1-20467 to the Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University (SDL/USU) to develop instrumentation for the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) investigation. This report is submitted in compliance with the contract statement of work, DRD item 19, and the requirements of the “SABER Test and Calibration Plan” (SDL/97-069). It describes the test, data analysis, and results of ground calibration. SDL/USU is responsible for ground calibration testing, data collection, and publication of this report. The data analysis and results shown in this report, however, are a shared effort between SDL/USU, GATS, and LaRC.

SABER Instrument Requirements Document

SABER, as defined in a joint LaRC-SDL/USU proposal submitted in July 1992 in response to AO 92-OSSA-1, is the baseline instrument definition. The design requirements of that proposal with subsequent changes are included herein but are not intended to inhibit or restrict the tradeoff studies and the instrument specification document being developed for this task.
