Abstract

The vertical structure of the middle atmosphere (stratosphere and mesosphere) is mainly driven by the absorption of solar radiation by ozone, which is maximum at the stratopause defining the limit between the two layers. However, the meridional structure of the temperature field is far from the radiative equilibrium, especially in the upper mesosphere where the coldest temperatures are reached at the summer pole. This structure can be only explained if we consider the vertical and meridional circulation driven by planetary and gravity wave propagation and breaking. Rayleigh lidars providing time-resolved accurate temperature profiles from the middle stratosphere to the top of mesosphere are very efficient tools to study the characteristics of these waves and their impact on the mean temperature and wind fields. Together with other types of instrument setup in the frame of the European Design Study projects ARISE and -ARISE2, Doppler wind lidars, Mesosphere–Stratosphere–Troposphere (MST) and meteor radars, the IMS (International Monitoring System) infrasound network, airglow imagers and ionospheric sounders, they will contribute to a better knowledge and a better representation of middle atmospheric processes in numerical weather prediction and climate models.
