Solar variability causes observable photochemical and dynamical processes in mid-latitude mesosphere.
Enhanced mesospheric H2O wave activity in the 27-day period band above 0.1 hpa.
Cross-correlations of −0.3 to −0.4 between solar Lyman-α and MIAWARA H2O are found.
H2O response phase lag of roughly 6–10 days to the solar forcing.
Lyman-α oscillations induce discernible anti-correlations in H2O after solar superstorm in 2012.
