摘要

Measurements of atmospheric structure and dynamics near the mesopause were performed using a sodium lidar, an MF radar, and a nightglow CCD camera during the CORN campaign performed in central Illinois during September 1992. The major features of the observed structure on September 27/28 include a low-frequency, large-scale wave accounting for persistent overturning of the temperature and sodium density fields, superposed higher-frequency motions, small-scale transient ripples in the nightglow images suggestive of instability structures, and large-scale wind shear near the height of apparent instability. We describe four simulations of wave breaking with a three-dimensional model designed to assist in the interpretation of these observations. Two simulations address the instability of a low-frequency wave in a background shear flow with and without higher-frequency modulation. These show higher-frequency motions to be important in assigning the spatial and temporal scales of instability structures. Two other simulations examine the instabilities accompanying a convectively unstable inertia-gravity wave with and without higher-frequency modulation without mean shear. These show the instability structure to remain aligned in the direction of wave propagation, with only weak influences by the high-frequency motion. Our results suggest that instability due to a superposition of waves accounts best for the nightglow features observed during the CORN campaign and that streamwise convective instabilities observed due to wave breaking at higher intrinsic frequencies continue to dominate instability structure for internal waves for which inertial effects are important.
