Atmospheric dynamics Research InfraStructure in Europe (ARISE2)

Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

It has been robustly demonstrated that variations in the circulation of the middle atmosphere influence weather and climate throughout the troposphere all the way to the Earth’s surface. A key part of the coupling between the troposphere and stratosphere occurs through the propagation and breaking of planetary-scale Rossby waves and gravity waves. Limited observation of the middle atmosphere and t ...
