Abstract
The first meteor radar measurements of
meridional winds in the lower thermosphere (about 95 ± 5 km), along four
azimuth directions: 0°, 90°E, 180° and 90°W; approximately 2° from the
geographic South Pole were made during two observational campaigns: January 19,
1995-January 26, 1996, and November 21, 1996-January 27, 1997. Herein we report
analyses of the measurement results, obtained during the first campaign, which
cover the whole one-year period, with particular emphasis on the transient
nature and seasonal behavior of the main parameters of the intradiurnal wind
oscillations. To analyze the data, two complementary methods are used: the
well-known periodogram (FFT) technique and the S-transform technique. The
most characteristic periods of the intradiurnal oscillations are found to be
rather uniformly spread between about 7 h and 12 h. All of these oscillations
are westward-propagating with zonal wave number s=1 and their usual
duration is confined to several periods. During the austral winter season the
oscillations with periods less than 12 h are the most intensive, while during
summer season the 12-h oscillations dominate. Lamb waves and internal-gravity
wave propagation, non-linear interaction of the short-period tides, excitation
in situ of the short period waves may be considered as possible processes which
are responsible for intradiurnal wind oscillations in the lower thermosphere
over South Pole.
