COMPARATIVE RESULTS

  • 81 nights with more than 3 hour

SJC Na LIDAR (2007-2008)

  • 62 had a vertical descending

structure

  • Apparently no seasonal

tendency

  • 109 nights K-Na (2017-2018) total
  • f 78 structures on Na density

and 76 on K.

  • Simonich et al. (1979) atributed

to dynamical effects

SUMMARY

  • Descending structures on night densities are related to dynamical

processes mainly due to atmospheric tides

  • Na density abundance showed a Semiannual distribution with maxima

around June and October;

  • K density abundance showed an Annual distribution with maxima around

June;

  • K centroid 90.4 km and Na 91.8 km, do not change to much throught year

but both presented a descending “trend”

  • Moreover the layer width ~10.5 km (Na) and ~ 8 km (K)
