Abstract

Shown that the temperature disturbances, propagated during stratospheric warmings, are result of interference of at least two waves. Two-wave interference model of stratospheric warming was developed. Characteristics of planetary waves, for warmings 2006-2013 were obtained by using this model. Periods of disturbances vary from 5 to 45 days. Vertical wave numbers range is 20-150 km. Amplitudes and horizontal wave numbers obtained by the two-wave models, vary smoothly in space and time, forming vorticity-like structure. On the basis of regular, continuous observations from the Irkutsk ionosonde DSP-4, was shown that number of traveling ionospheric disturbances tend to increase during stratospheric warmings. Comparing of planetary waves characteristics for warmings 2006-2013 was done.
