Gravity waves have long been known as a key driver of the general
circulation and the temperature structure of the lower and middle
atmosphere through their ability to transport energy and momentum.
Gravity waves also bring significant amounts of energy and momentum to
the upper atmosphere. Recent understanding of gravity waves in the
troposphere, middle atmosphere and thermosphere has been significantly
improved by theoretical, observational and modeling studies, and their
importance in modeling our atmosphere and its climate has been
demonstrated. However, gravity waves in the polar region have not been
sufficiently understood, especially around the Antarctic region in the
southern hemisphere, due to lack of observations. ANGWIN (Antarctic
Gravity Wave Imaging Network) is an international project promoting and
supporting an airglow imager network in the Antarctic; it seeks to
reveal characteristics of mesospheric gravity waves, and to study
sources, propagation, breaking of the gravity waves over the Antarctic
and the effects on general circulation and upper atmosphere. This meeting is the first international workshop of ANGWIN. The three-day workshop is not simply for the report of airglow imaging studies/results but also devoted to related subjects/studies, including the integration of other ground-based*1 and satellite observations, numerical modeling and theories of gravity waves in the polar and other regions. Participation of the scientists from broader aspects is welcome. *1) meteor/MF radars, lidars, airglow spectrometers, and other optical/radio instruments |
