This presentation explores the significant influence of lower atmosphere perturbations on the predictability of the upper atmosphere. It discusses the complex interactions between planetary waves, tides, and their effects on the ionosphere and thermosphere, highlighting key findings from research conducted by Liu et al. (2007, 2009, 2010). The study emphasizes the importance of accurate lower atmosphere forecasting to control error growth in the upper atmosphere, suggesting that improved understanding of wave sources is essential for enhancing prediction skills.

  11. Scale Dependence of Error Growth

  12. Control of Error Growth • Error growth in the upper atmosphere is likely closely tied to decreasing skills in forecasting atmospheric waves. • We should be able to control error growth in the upper atmosphere if we have good knowledge of the wave sources. • WACCM Experiments: • “B” case: Base case (“truth”) • “A” case: Error in initial condition • “A(B,ps,DT)” case: A corrected with perfect knowledge of B at level ps every DT time.

  14. Summary • Two related reasons why we should get the lower atmosphere waves right: • Planetary waves/tides from the lower atmosphere can affect the ionospheric variability. • The loss of forecasting skills of these waves is a major cause of error growth in the middle and upper atmosphere (in the absence of magnetic storms). • Accurate specification of the lower atmosphere state helps control the error growth of the middle and upper atmosphere.
