摘要: Spectral results from a vertical sounding of temperature and wind velocity performed with an open stratospheric balloon in Argentina near the Andes mountains between 12 25 km altitude, are reported. The use sonic anemometers allows for higher resolution than previous experiments. data records studied successive subintervals, yielding good spectral correlation ascent descent around below tropopause. possibilities orographic origin large amplitude modes observed spectra wave generation by non linear interactions them discussed.
