Outline of Final Research Achievements

The time variation of polar mesospheric cloud (noctilucent cloud) in the summer season is investigated using a climate model including the lower thermosphere. The variation of cloud occurring is controlled by 5-day oscillation, tides and eastward propagating gravity waves. The vertical extent of the cloud in the model is 10km scale that is not realistic. In order to have the realistic extent of cloud, a chemical climate model is developed for the occurrence of the cloud whose vertical extent is about 4km.
The atmospheric response to 11-year solar cycle has been simulated. The response difference of temperature and water vapor between solar maximum and solar minimum is almost consistent to previous model results, however the response difference of cloud is small.
