1. Variability and feedbacks in the middle atmosphere
Sammanfattning : The importance of the middle atmosphere for the weather and climate on Earth is increasingly realized. Variability and feedback processes in the middle atmosphere need to be better understood and form the subject of this thesis. LÄS MER
2. Observations of water vapour in the middle atmosphere
Sammanfattning : Water vapour is the most important greenhouse gas and plays a fundamental role in the climate system and for the chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere. This thesis presents observations of water vapour in the middle atmosphere with a particular focus on the mesosphere. LÄS MER
3. Noctilucent clouds in a coupled atmosphere
Sammanfattning : Noctilucent clouds (NLC) at altitudes around 80 km are the highest clouds in our atmosphere. They have been a subject of research ever since their discovery in the late 19th century. This thesis takes an important step towards using NLC as a tool for studying dynamic coupling processes in the atmosphere on a global scale. LÄS MER
4. Tomographic views of the middle atmosphere from a satellite platform
Sammanfattning : The middle atmosphere is a very important part of the Earth system. Until recently, we did not realize the importance of the structure of this vaporous shell and of the fundamental role it plays in both creating and sustaining life on the planet. LÄS MER
5. Studies of planetary waves in ozone and temperature fields as observed by the Odin satellite in 2002-2007
Sammanfattning : The results presented in this PhD thesis are mainly based on measurements collected by the advanced sub-mm radiometer (SMR) aboard the Odin satellite in 2002-2007. The primary data are series of temperature and ozone profiles in the middle atmosphere up to 68 km. LÄS MER
