Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have studied the vertical coupling processes between atmospheres as well as between magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere, mainly, based on observational data obtained with multi-instruments operated at Tromsoe (69.6N, 19.2E), Norway. Results are summarized as follows: (1) we investigated a dissipation process of a gravity wave, and proposed that the background temperature structure played a role, (2) we evaluated generation mechanisms of a sporadic sodium layer, and proposed a new generation mechanism that a normal sodium ion layer is a source for sodium atoms and the south-westward electric field played a role to transport sodium ions downward, (3) we derived a zonal wave number of semidiurnal tide during an SSW event, and pointed out discrepancy with model predictions, (4) we evaluated the derivation method of joule heating, and showed a care is needed for the derivation way by IS radar data, (5) we found sodium atom depletion due to auroral particle precipitations.
