Abstract:
The discovery of these stratospheric tidal circulations came as a result of an Army-initiated synoptic rocket exploration of the atmosphere above levels to which balloons can effectively penetrate. The Meteorological Rocket Network MRN has uncovered certain other important aspects of the earths atmospheric structure. These include interchange of mass between the hemispheres across equatorial regions and a profusion of detail structure which increases in significance with increasing altitude. This synoptic MRN has a basic aim of relating the physical processes of this middle atmospheric region with the weather of the lower atmosphere and the electrical structure of the ionosphere region. This paper concerns the impact of these tidal circulations on our knowledge of the physical processes which produce the extremely important electrical state of the atmosphere. Author
