Abstract: | Measurements of the pseudo 2-day wave have been made at many of the mesosphere-lower-thermosphere radars. Comparisons are made here between measurements taken at Saskatoon MF radar (52°N, 107°W) and two meteor radars, one at Christmas Island (2°N, 157°W) and the other at Durham (43°N, 71°W). Although results averaged for 10 days or longer agree with previous measurements (i.e. larger amplitudes and more phase stability in late summer), when the wave is analyzed over 2–4 days as a 48 h component, interesting phase properties emerge and the wave is seen over more of the year. The wave is amplitude and phase modulated, making the interpretation of results obtained over long time frames (20 days or more) difficult. There is strong evidence of solar influence on the 2-day wave. |
