Zusammenfassung |
In this paper case studies of propagation
characteristics of two TIDs are presented which are induced by atmospheric
gravity waves in the auroral F-region on a magnetic quiet day. By means of
maximum entropy cross-spectral analysis of EISCAT CP2 data, apparent full
wave-number vectors of the TIDs are obtained as a function of height. The
analysis results show that the two events considered can be classified as
moderately large-scale TID and medium-scale TID, respectively. One exhibits a
dominant period of about 72 min, a mean horizontal phase speed of about 180 m/s
(corresponding to a horizontal wavelength of about 780 km) directed
south-eastwards and a vertical phase speed of 55 m/s for a height of about 300
km. The other example shows a dominant period of 44 min, a mean horizontal phase
velocity of about 160 m/s (corresponding to a horizontal wavelength of about 420
km) directed southwestwards, and a vertical phase velocity of about 50 m/s at
250 km altitude.
