Monitoring of ozone and temperature of middle atmosphere during stratospheric warming in millimeter and optical band

The study of response of the middle atmosphere (stratosphere and mesosphere) to any external impact (variations of sunlight, flux of cosmic ray particles, eruptions of volcanoes, and anthropogenesis factors) is an urgent physical problem. Ozone and temperature are important atmospheric parameters. The correlation of these parameters is of significant interest from the viewpoint of thermal balance of the middle atmosphere. The basic heating of the stratosphere (altitude range of 20-50 km) is caused by absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation by ozone molecules. Thermal changes influence the rate of ozone formation and destruction. Other types of wave processes can redistribute the structures of vertical profiles of ozone and temperature in the middle atmosphere. Sudden stratospheric warming affects a lot of widely known atmospheric wave processes. Microwave radiometry and Rayleigh lidar allow investigation of ozone and temperature variations during large-scale wave disturbances in the middle atmosphere, such as, for example, stratospheric warming [1-3].
