Scientific paper

An all sky imager was located at Eureka, Nunavut (80N, 86W) at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory in the fall of 2007. It has been operating over the past two winters and taking measurements of sodium, hydroxyl and oxygen green line airglow emissions as well as red line and N2+ emissions. During both winters, airglow observations were taken during Stratospheric Warmings. During the major warming in January 2009, significant variability in the gravity wave signatures and airglow intensity was observed. This included reversal in wave direction and variations in the form of the observed waves and changes in airglow intensity. These results are interpreted in the context of a warming which developed in a run of the extended Canadian Middle Atmosphere model during which perturbations from the stratosphere to the thermosphere occured.
