Abstract
The Swedish satellite MATS was launched in November 2022. MATS derives three-dimensional temperature fields from the mesosphere and lower thermosphere by observing atmospheric airglow emissions and light scattered off noctilucent clouds. As propagating gravity waves introduce fluctuations in pressure, density and temperature, these measurements can be used to study the wave dynamics of this energetic atmospheric region. To correctly capture the gravity wave spectra, wave-induced perturbations have to be isolated from larger scale fluctuations of the background atmosphere. Based on measurements made by MATS during the initial operational months, as well as synthetic tomography data, we investigate how waves affect the MATS measurements, and how their properties can be derived.
