Knowing what to look for Previous studies investigating heat wave prediction have looked for patterns in the tropics, but this research was interesting because the predictive factor is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs in the middle latitudes, Schubert said.

Besides its atmospheric chemistry, Perlan 2 will carry instruments to study turbulence in stratospheric mountain waves, and to explore the microphysics of interactions between mountain waves and polar meteorology, which ultimately affect weather variability.

Using mathematical models of the ice shelf, the study's authors show how vibrations in the ice match those seen in the atmosphere, and are likely causing these mysterious atmospheric waves.

Instead, a new study suggests, the phenomena occur when four types of slow - moving, high - altitude atmospheric waves merge over a small region and, in turn, temporarily drive a 10 - fold - or - stronger brightening of an ever - present glow in the upper atmosphere (green layer in the image above).

In a new study, reserachers used two theoretical models of the Ross Ice Shelf to show vibrations within the ice could create the atmospheric waves.

«If atmospheric waves are generated by ice vibrations, by rhythmic vibrations of ice — then that carries a lot of information of the ice shelf itself,» said Oleg Godin, a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and lead author of the new study, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.

Their study looked at the moisture and the energy budget of the MJO to capture a more realistic picture of the atmospheric wave.
