• Abstract

  Since the 1990 decade, Meteor Radar measurements had been used to estimate the temperature of the mesopause region. However, the results obtained through used techniques were not considered satisfactory and some studies have been conducted objecting the improvment of the temperature estimate. In this sence, the present project proposes to develop a variant of the existent methods to estim…

• Abstract

  The purpose of this research project is to continue the experimental research with the Lidar system from National Institute for Space Research (INPE). This system started to operate in 1968 taking data from stratospheric aerosols using a Ruby Laser, the only one available that time. With the development of the Laser technology a Dye laser was developed permitting that besides the stratosp…

• Abstract

  Planetary waves in equatorial region contribute significantly for the dynamics of the middle atmosphere considering that they are responsible by the significant transport of energy and momentum. Several works have been dedicated to the investigation of the occurrency and the characteristics of the equatorial waves in the region of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). However, l…

• Abstract

  Gravity waves GW) are the result of the imbalance between the gravity and pressure gradient forces which act as restoring forces in the atmosphere. These waves are responsible for energy and momentum flux transport from the lower to upper atmosphere. Various studies have shown that the summer mesosphere is colder than the winter one at middle latitudes, which is incompatible with simple r…

• Abstract

  The objective of the present work is to study the wave dynamical processes occurring in the middle atmosphere at low latitude in Brazil, which can be detailed as follows.1) To study propagation characteristics of the Gravity Waves and Tides in the stratosphere, mesosphere and lower thermosphere.2) To examine the contribution of the Gravity Waves to the atmospheric energy budget in terms o…
