What is it about?
The major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) dramatically changed atmospheric conditions from mesosphere to troposphere. These changes affect even the midlatitude mesosphere, which is not widely covered by observations. Our newly installed microwave radiometer allowed studying mesospheric zonal wind to understand the SSW 2018 behavior at mid-latitudes.

Why is it important?
This event is accompanied by a sharp increase in the stratosphere temperature and zonal wind reverse producing strong changes in surface weather.
