The term f represents the Coriolis parameter (see below), [rho] is density, p is pressure, [PHI] represents geopotential (see Appendix 1 for definition), x and y represent the east-west and north-south directions, respectively, and [^. The classification that we used in this paper is based on the position and orientation of synoptic scale geopotential height patterns with respect to the area of interest (Athens) (15). HiRDLS is a 21-channel infrared Earth-limb scanning radiometer that will monitor the upper tropospheric, stratospheric, and mesospheric temperature, trace chemicals and geopotential height gradients over a five-year observation period. |
