Fig. 2From: Latitudinal and interhemispheric differences of the ionospheric semi-diurnal lunitidal perturbations during the 2009 Arctic sudden stratospheric warming event in the eastern Asia–Australia sectorThe stratospheric polar temperature and wind, the planetary wave activity, and the solar and geomagnetic indices as a function of cumulative days from 1 January 2009. a T (red) is the temperature at 90°N, 10 hPa and U is the zonal mean zonal wind at 60°N, 10 hPa. The vertical dashed lines mark the initiation dates of the decrease and reversal of U. b Z1 and Z2 are the planetary-wave amplitudes of zonal wavenumber 1 and 2 components, respectively, calculated from the geopotential height at 60°N, 10 hPa. c The Kp (blue) and F10.7 (red) indicesBack to article page
