Abstract
The 5‐day planetary wave has been detected in the winds measured by the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (50–110 km). The appearances of the 5‐day wave are transient, with a lifetime of 10–20 days in the two‐year data set. The structures of selected 5‐day wave events are in generally good agreement with the (1,1) Rossby normal mode for both zonal and meridional components. A climatology of the 5‐day wave is presented for an altitude of 95 km and latitudes mainly between 40°S and 40°N.
