METHOD FOR CALCULATING TORSIONAL OSCILLATIONS IN EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE FROM NCEP/NCAR, MERRA-2, ECMWF ERA-40, AND ERA-INTERIM
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, we describe a method for calculating low-frequency zonal-mean zonal wind variations, which we call torsional oscillations. We compare the torsional oscillations calculated from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis I, MERRA-2, ECWMF ERA-40, and ERA-Interim projects, using different methods of processing the original data. We estimate the degree of consistency of torsional oscillations, obtained from different reanalysis projects, and discuss the use of torsional oscillations to study circulation processes in the atmosphere.

Disturbances of ionospheric radio channel during magnetic storms in November–December 2023
This paper presents the results of analysis of oblique ionospheric sounding data obtained with continuous chirp signal on the subauroral paths Magadan—Irkutsk and Norilsk—Irkutsk. It specifies the interplanetary sources...
ALL-ATMOSPHERE IS-MST RADAR
The IS-MST radar, as the name implies, combines two different methods for studying the atmosphere using a backscatter signal. Turbulent fluctuations of the medium cause scattering in the mesosphere—stratosphere—troposphe...
OFFSETS IN THE GEOMAGNETIC INDICES OF THE MAGNETOSPHERIC RING CURRENT
The paper considers changes in the daily average values of the Dst, SYM-H, ASY-H, and ASY-D indices and their dependence on the level of magnetic disturbance for the period 1981–2016. These indices are geomagnetic charac...
PARTIAL PONDEROMOTIVE FORCES OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN NEAR-EARTH PLASMA
In the study of the ponderomotive action of Alfvén waves on near-Earth plasma, the general formula for ponderomotive forces, known in classical electrodynamics of continuous media, was previously used. The formula does n...
ROLE OF ALPHA PARTICLES IN PENETRATION OF SOLAR WIND DIAMAGNETIC STRUCTURES INTO THE MAGNETOSPHERE
We present the results of studies showing the presence of simultaneous jumps in the density of protons (N2/N1)p and alpha particles (N2/N1)α at the boundaries of diamagnetic structures (DS) of various types both in the q...
