In the present work we have studied changes of mesospheric temperature over the powerful storms Wilma, Haitang, and Katrina using measurements of the space vehicle TIMED. We have found the temperature increasing at the altitude range 80-100 km. We have found the explanations for the obtained results by the dissipation of the gravity waves. Propagation of atmospheric gravity waves in a non-isothermal, windless atmosphere, with taking into account the viscosity and the thermal conductivity, has also been modelled in this work. We have determined that the maximum of amplitude of the atmospheric-gravity waves at the considered characteristics corresponds to altitudes of near 90 km (mesopause). It was found that the main factor influencing propagation and dissipation of the wave in such cases is the vertical temperature gradient. Viscosity and thermal conductivity have less influence on the wave amplitude.

We have found the temperature increasing at the altitude range 80�100 km. We have found the explanations for the obtained results by the dissipation of the gravity waves. Propagation of atmospheric gravity waves in a non-isothermal, windless atmosphere, with taking into account the viscosity and the thermal conductivity, has also been modelled in this work. We have determined that the maximum of amplitude of the atmospheric-gravity waves at the considered characteristics corresponds to altitudes of near 90 km (mesopause). It was found that the main factor in�uencing propagation and dissipation of the wave in such cases is the vertical temperature gradient. Viscosity and thermal conductivity have less in�uence on the wave amplitude. Key words: pressure, density, and temperature; ionosphere-atmosphere interactions; wave propagation; middle atmosphere dynamics; thermospheric dynamics; tropical meteorology introduction Nowadays there is much evidence of the existence of atmospheric-gravity waves (AGW) in the neutral Earth's atmosphere. Among the observed facts one may discern: wave structures on the tropospheric and noctilucent clouds; variations of the surface pres- sure at microbarogrammes; wave variations of ozone concentration and other impurities in the middle atmosphere; wave structures obtained by the iono- sphere's radiosounding method, etc. [16, 18, 20, 24]. There are tens of possible sources of AGW, among which the most potent are: tropospheric cyclons and frontal systems; solar terminator; hurricanes; storms; nuclear tests; large-scale anthropogenic dis- asters; earthquakes; volcanic eruptions; supersonic rockets' �ight etc. [11, 29]. The spectrum of gravity waves in atmosphere is very wide. They can have periods from a few min- utes up to tens of hours [10, 27]. As the AGW prop- agates upwards in the adiabatic regime, the AGW amplitude increases as density decreases [15, 24, 42]. Meanwhile, as the altitude increases, the adiabatic condition of the wave propagation breaks. Such an e�ect mostly leads to the loss of durability of these waves and to their dissipation. Investigation of AGW at altitudes of 80�100 km and identi�cation of the source of the AGW meets a range of di�culties [13]. It is particularly di�- cult studying this problem by ground-based imag- ing techniques. Short horizontal wavelength AGWs reach the airglow region a few hundred kilometres from their source, which means that the ground- based imagers must be placed close to the source region. However, the periods of intensive convective activity are also periods of considerable cloudiness, which often precludes imaging observations. Then, there is some evidence that the AGWs, which are seen in imagers, may be ducted a considerable hor- izontal distance from their source, making it dif- �cult to determine the origin of these waves [40]. Finally, until recently, there were almost no space- based instruments capable to make images of AGWs above the troposphere. Nevertheless, there were sev- eral studies attempting to determine speci�c AGW sources. They could be separated into two classes: those regarding AGWs which travel directly from the convective source to the observation height, and those regarding the ducting or trapping of AGWs. There are only a few such reports of the �rst former category. The �rst one was a ground-based study by Taylor and Hapgood [37], which observed curved wave fronts with a centre approximately 200 to 500 km from the observed wavefronts. They used the estimates of the wind and temperature pro�les from the limited satellite and model data available ∗ kozak@univ.kiev.ua 50 Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics S. Pylypenko, O.Motsyk, L.Kozak for analysis. The horizontal wavelength was about 25 km, and the intrinsic period was found to be ap- proximately 17min. From meteorological charts and lightning data it was shown that there were transient thunderstorms present in the studied region, which were found to be the source of these AGWs. Another study was based on space-based obser- vations by Dewan et al. [4]. It used infrared data collected by the Midcourse Space Experiment satel- lite, originating at altitudes of 40 km which showed circular wave-fronts with a horizontal wavelength of approximately 25 km. The source of these waves was also identi�ed as a thunderstorm. The �nal study was by Sentman et al. [31], who observed nearly concentric wavefronts emanating from a tropospheric source region (thunderstorm). In the second category, there were a number of investigations that attempted to explain the preva- lence of AGWs in airglow imagers with horizontal wavelength values which are typically several tens of kilometres, have ground-based periods of ten to sev- eral tens of minutes, and are imaged a long distance away from a speci�c convective source [5, 12, 13, 23, 26, 36, 38, 40]. Walterscheid et al. [40] presented the idea that this was due to ducting of the AGWs in a thermal duct present in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Hecht et al. [13] later sug- gested that modi�cations of this thermal duct by winds must also be considered and the waves may be trapped rather than purely ducted. In [1, 13, 38, 41] the results obtained indicated that the short-period, short-horizontal wavelength AGWs are produced by convective activity. However, these studies also indicate that AGWs with some- what longer wavelengths (up to several hundred kilo- metres) may also be produced. Furthermore, Wal- terscheid et al. [41] suggest that acoustic waves with periods of a few minutes may also be present in the region above the storm. In spite of a large number of works, so far there is no clearance in understanding what mechanisms and at which heights are involved in the wave atten- uation. observations Echoes in the upper atmosphere on large-scale weather formations can become apparent in temper- ature variations, vector of wind speed, emissions, etc. In the capacity of researching sources of atmo- spheric disturbances, hurricanes were chosen. These powerful vortex �ows of air masses arise above the warm water basins of the ocean from the powerful tropical cyclones, inside which the pressure is drop- ping towards the centre. Meanwhile, the air �ows move from the periphery to the cyclone's centre. The rotating component of the wind speed inside the cyclone is caused by the Coriolis force. Due to the condensation of water vapour a large amount of heat is extracted, which increases upstreams and re- sults in turbulence. Although hurricanes form in the lower atmosphere and expand only for approximately twenty kilometres in height, they carry enough en- ergy to considerably in�uence the structure of the upper layers. The e�ects of three hurricanes were stud- ied, which occurred from July till October 2005. They are as follows: Katrina (23.08.2005� 31.08.2005), Wilma (15.10.2005�25.10.2005) and Haitang (11.07.2005�19.07.2005). Hurricanes Kat- rina and Wilma developed above the Atlantic Ocean, Haitang above the Paci�c Ocean. We analysed temperatures values above these hurricanes measured by the satellite TIMED and particularly by its device TIDI. The results are presented in Fig. 1, the tempera- tures are represented on a grey colour scale. Temper- ature changes were analysed in the altitude range of 70�110 km prior to the appearance of the hurricane (left column), during the most powerful stage of the hurricane (middle column), and following its com- plete dissipation (right column). It can be seen from the �gures that the temper- ature increases above the hurricane regions by 25� 40K at the mesopause level. Obtained temperature changes cannot be explained by the features of solar and geomagnetic activity. numerical modelling of propagation and damping of the atmospheric gravity waves Since AGW are considered to be a possible mech- anism responsible for the energy transport from the lower atmospheric layers upwards, we decided to per- form a numerical modelling of AGW propagation in the Earth atmosphere. Our method is based mainly on the method of solution of the Navier- Stokes equations, described in [6, 7]. It is similar to the multi-layer methods, which were �rstly con- sidered by Midgley and Liemohn [22]. AGW, while propagating in an inhomogeneous atmosphere, can dissipate its energy both by self-damping and by re- distribution via various dissipative processes (viscos- ity, thermal conductivity etc.). Calculations of Midg- ley and Liemohn [22] are based on the assumption that energy redistribution between gravity waves and dissipative processes in the lower atmosphere is neg- ligibly small, so that waves can be considered as of gravity type only. The iterative scheme used in this method is valid until dissipative processes dump much faster than atmospheric-gravity waves. Vol- land [39] showed that viscosity and thermal conduc- tivity may be important at upper atmospheric levels. He admits that the gravity-wave dominated solution used for lower altitudes, will be gravity-wave domi- nated at high altitudes also. 51 Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics S. Pylypenko, O.Motsyk, L.Kozak Fig. 1: The distribution of temperature by time and height: before (a), during (b) and after (c) the hurricane Katrina (August 2005); before (d), during (e) and after (f) the hurricane Wilma (October 2005); before (g), during (h) and after (i) the hurricane Haitang (July 2005). In this work we solve the Navier-Stokes equation taking into account dissipative processes. We con- sider a plane-parallel atmosphere consisting of homo- geneous layers with constant temperature T0, mass M , adiabatic constant γ, gravity g, viscosity to den- sity ratio µ/ρ0 and thermal conductivity to density ratio λ/ρ0. We linearize the system of equations rel- ative to the unperturbed steady state of the atmo- sphere: ρ0 ∂u′′i ∂t = −∂p′′ ∂xi + ρ′′gi+ + ∂ ∂xi [ µ ( ∂u′′i ∂xj + ∂u′′j ∂xi − 2 3 δij∇ · u′′ )] , ∂ρ′′ ∂t +∇ · (ρ0u′′) = 0, ρ0Ra (γ − 1)M ∂T ′′ ∂t = ∇ · (λ∇T ′′)− ρ0∇ · u′′, (1) where u′′, p′′, ρ′′ denote a 1st-order perturbation of velocity, pressure, and density, caused by the prop- agation of the wave, Ra is universal gas constant, p′′ = ρ′′RaT0 M + ρ0RaT ′′ M . We search the solution in a plane mode: p′′ Ap = T ′′ AT = u′z Az = = u′x Ax ∝ exp ( iωt− ikxx− ikzz + z 2H ) . (2) Ap, AT , Az and Ax are scaling factors. The hori- zontal wave vector kx and the real frequency ω are assumed to be constant throughout the atmosphere, since the atmosphere depends neither on spatial co- ordinate x nor on time t. On the other hand, verti- cal wave vector kz varies through the di�erent atmo- spheric layers. 52 Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics S. Pylypenko, O.Motsyk, L.Kozak Substituting a plain mode solution (2) into the (1) we turn the system of di�erential equations into a system of algebraic equations. We join the solutions for waves in di�erent adjacent layers by assuming continuity for vertical velocity and moment �ux. For a certain ω and a horizontal wave number kx, the scale parameters Az, Ax, Ap, and AT are de�ned by the following formula: Az = ω kx [ (1 + η)k − 2iηα+ k − iα (γ − 1)−1 − νR ] − − ω kx [ 1 + η − β + 3ηR+ 1 (γ − 1)−1 − νR ] , (3) Ax = ω kx [ (1 + η)k − iα(1 + 3η) + k (γ − 1)−1 − νR ] − − ω kx [ (1 + 4η)R− η − β − 1 + R− 1 (γ − 1)−1 − νR ] , (4) AT = T0kx ω [ Ax + kAz (γ − 1)−1 − νR ] , (5) Ap = p0kx ω [Ax +Az (k − iα)] + p0 AT T0 . (6) where the dimensionless parameters are: k = (kz + i/2H)/kx, R = k2 − iαk + 1, α = 1/kxH, β = ω2/gk2xH, η = iωµ/3p0, ν = iλT0k 2 x/ωp0. If the values u′x, u′z, p′′ and T ′′ are valid for Eq. (2), then they are valid for the Navier-Stokes equations. In the course of numerical modelling while us- ing Eqs. (2)�(6) we have calculated the amplitudes of velocity disturbances (both vertical u′′z and hor- izontal components u′′x), pressure p′′, and altitu- dinal measurements of temperature T ′′ caused by the motion of AGW with a period of 65 minutes and horizontal component of the wave vector kx = 10−5m−1 [11, 19]. At the period and kx changing the scales of processes are also changing, however, the regularity of changes of atmosphere parameters in the case of AGW is still the same. For the analysis of the investigated parameters the initial conditions (temperature pro�les, concentrations of all compo- nents, altitude of uniform atmosphere) were calcu- lated using the model of MSIS [14] for the days of maximal intensities of considered storms. The pres- ence of experimental data with temperature mea- surements above storms allowed us to use the value 30 K as the maximal increase of temperature as a result of the wave presence (border conditions). In the course of the analysis we considered an at- mosphere that has no wind, is non-isothermal, and is strati�cated in terms of density and concentration of main components, while taking into account vis- cosity and heat-conductivity. The results of numerical modelling of the change with the altitude of vertical and horizontal compo- nents of AGW velocity, pressure, and temperature, as a result of waves passing, are shown in Figures 2� 5. We should note that the disturbances of tempera- ture and pressure as a result of AGW spreading are put onto the usual view of changes of pressure and temperature with the altitude. It can be seen that for the chosen set of the mod- elling parameters, the waves propagate to heights of approximately 120 km and reach a maximum ampli- tude in the range of 90 to 100 km. discussion and conclusion Analysing the changes of the upper atmosphere temperature over hurricanes we found that the lo- cal temperature increases to some marked extent at the mesopause heights. We modelled propagation of atmospheric gravity waves in a windless, non- isothermal atmosphere with a strati�cation of den- sity and main components, but while taking into ac- count viscosity and thermal conductivity. Our main conclusions are: � An AGW has its maximum amplitude at the mesopause level. � The altitude at which the waves reach max- imum amplitude depends essentially on the height temperature gradient in that area. � The waves begin to dampen from altitudes 100 km above sea level. � Wave amplitude depends mainly on viscosity and thermal conductivity. Dependence of the dissipation height on these parameters is much lower. � Propagation of AGWs disturbs the mesopause so that the vertical component of the velocity changes by approximately 1�2m/s, the hori- zontal component�by 6�10m/s, and the pres- sure � by 60�100mPa, while the temperature changes by 15�30K. The obtained results are found to be in good agree- ment with works of numerical modelling of amplitude values of temperature variations from orographic waves at altitudes of 80�90 km over mountain [9], and temperature disturbances from a tsunami (increasing by 10�12K [35], wave periods are ∼ 30min [2]), and also are in good correspondence by order of magni- tude to experimental estimations [1, 13, 32, 33, 34, 38, 41]. In addition, the results of this work agree with the results of previous studies [19, 20, 29]. Note that nowadays there are researches in which the existence of the inverse connection is discussed, i. e. when the AGWs starting their spread from au- roral ionosphere regions have an in�uence onto ex- tratropical cyclones [28]. 53 Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics S.

Fig. 3: Horizontal AGW velocity dependence on height (solid line for July 18, 2005, dotted line for August 28, 2005, dashed line for October 19, 2005). Fig. 4: Pressure variations due to propagating wave (solid line for July 18, 2005, dotted line for August 28, 2005, dashed line for October 19, 2005). Fig. 5: Temperature variations due to propagating wave (solid line for July 18, 2005, dotted line for August 28, 2005, dashed line for October 19, 2005). At that it is suggested that the solar-wind- generated auroral AGWs contribute to processes that release instabilities and initiate slantwise convection thus leading to cloud bands and growth of extrat- ropical cyclones. Also, if the AGWs are ducted to low latitudes, they could a�ect the development of tropical cyclones. The gravity-wave-induced vertical lift may modulate the slantwise convection by releas- ing the moist symmetric instability at near-threshold conditions in the warm frontal zone of extratropical cyclones. In this case the Joule heating or Lorentz forcing is responsible for auroral AGWs generation. As an evidence that the e�ect is observed from AGWs coming from the cyclone but not spreading from above could serve the fact that the e�ect to be observed at height of 90�100 km. We did not detect any signi�cant deviations from the background value over 110 km. At the same time according to works Luhman [21] and Cole [3] gravity waves launched by the auroral electrojet generally do not cause sig- ni�cant perturbation of the wind �elds in the mid- dle atmosphere. However, at altitudes 110�120 km, upward and downward vertical winds in excess of 30m/s have been observed at high latitudes during moderately-disturbed geomagnetic conditions [25]. Rees et al. [30] identi�ed sources at high latitudes of strong vertical winds of more than 100m/s, resulting from local geomagnetic energy input and subsequent generation of thermospheric gravity waves. As was mentioned in introduction the stability of AGWs is breaking with increasing altitude, and they dissipate. The dissipation of wave energy at mesopause altitudes causes heat �ows comparable with solar ones [8]. As a result the turbulent layers appear in atmosphere, which are generally observed in regions with highly de�ected pro�les of the tem- 54 Advances in Astronomy and Space Physics S. Pylypenko, O.Motsyk, L.Kozak perature and wind velocity [19]. In troposphere the life time of such layers is longer, and they can ex- ist for long time after �turning o�� wave source of the turbulence [17]. These turbulized regions can, in turn, be sources of AGWs (secondary AGW) that propagate from the regions of primary wave dissipa- tion. The possible generation of secondary gravity waves during wave front breaking and wave decay at mesopause altitudes is considered in [43]. acknowledgments The work is done in the frame of complex pro- gram of NAS of Ukraine on space researches for 2012�1016, the grant Az. 90 312 from the Volkswagen Foundation (�VW-Stiftung�) and within the frame- work of the educational program No.2201250 �Edu- cation, Training of students, PhD students, scienti�c and pedagogical sta� abroad� launched by the Min- istry of Education and Science of Ukraine. references [1] AlexanderM.
