| Zusammenfassung |
| From 19 November to 19 December 2010 the fourth and final
ECOMA rocket campaign was conducted at Andøya Rocket Range
(69° N, 16° E) in northern Norway. We present and discuss
measurement results obtained during the last rocket launch labelled
ECOMA09 when simultaneous and true common volume in situ measurements
of temperature and turbulence supported by ground-based lidar observations
reveal two Mesospheric Inversion Layers (MIL) at heights between 71 and 73 km
and between 86 and 89 km. Strong turbulence was measured in the region of the
upper inversion layer, with the turbulent energy dissipation rates maximising
at 2 W kg−1. This upper MIL was observed by the ALOMAR Weber Na lidar over the
period of several hours. The spatial extension of this MIL as observed by the
MLS instrument onboard AURA satellite was found to be more than two thousand
kilometres. Our analysis suggests that both observed MILs could possibly have
been produced by neutral air turbulence. |
