Solar-Terrestrial Coupling and Atmospheric Dynamics - 2001 Nicolet Lecture

Explore the groundbreaking Nicolet Lecture delivered by George C. Reid at the 2001 AGU Spring Meeting. Delve into a comprehensive examination of atmospheric dynamics, covering topics such as vertical motions, wave breaking, polar mesopause, and supersaturation ratios. Investigate the intricacies of electron bytotes, plasma, and particle geometry while gaining insights into tropopause trends and temperature profiles. Analyze the seasonal variations and upward velocities in the atmosphere, and understand their implications on climate patterns. Despite potential rendering issues due to the age of the original file, this 52-minute presentation offers valuable knowledge for atmospheric scientists, climatologists, and those interested in the complexities of Earth's atmosphere.
