  1. Example Science Applications of SABER Processed Data

  2. LTE NLTE NLTE temperature shows double mesopause structure LTE temperature shows little double mesopause structure NLTE SABER zonal mean temperature July 4, 2002 showing double mesopause structure (Mertens et al, 2003)

  3. SABER data show presence of mesospheric chemical heating on June 4, 2002 O + O + M H + O3 20 K/day 5 K/day O + O2 + M Chemical heating present every day of yaw period analyzed for May – July, 2002 5 K/day

  4. Jan-Feb 2002 at 36 S Jun-Jul 2002 at 36 N SABER (m,f) Spectra at ~71 km show “quasi-2-day” wave (Garcia, 2003) Large 2-day wave amplitudes are seen around summer solstice c ~ 70 m/s c~70 ms-1 Variance is present along a line of constant phase speed; largest for m = 3, 4 near 0.5 cpd

  5. =3, June 14-July 14, 2003 =3, June 15-July 14, 2002 =4, June 15-July 14, 2002 =4, June 14-July 14, 2003 SABER “quasi-2-day” wave amplitude for 2002 and 2003 (Garcia, 2004)

  8. NO mixing ratio profiles measured by HALOE on the UARS Platform

  9. HALOE daily zonal mean thermosphric NO profiles – Oct 2003

  10. HALOE daily zonal mean thermosphric NO profiles – Nov 2003

  11. NO VER time series at 125 km compared with X-ray, electron and proton fluxes from GOES and TIMED/SEE, Ap Index

  12. SABER Avg NO VER 125 km 70oN - 80oN Daily averaged NO VERs at 125 km, 70oN - 80oN, and Ap index Corr. Coeff. 73% Ap Index
