Two types of special mesospheric bore events were observed, enabled by the wide field of view of VIIRS: extremely wide bores (&gt;2000 km extension perpendicular to the bore propagation direction), and those exhibiting more than 15 trailing crests and troughs. A mesospheric bore event observed simultaneously from space and ground was investigated in detail. DNB enables the preliminary global observation of mesospheric bores for the first time. DNB mesospheric bores occurred more frequently in March, April and May. Their typical lengths are between 300 km and 1200 km. The occurrence rate of bores at low latitudes is higher than that at middle latitudes. Among the 61 bore events, 39 events occurred in the tropical region (20\u00b0S\u201320\u00b0N). The high occurrence rate of mesospheric bores during the spring months in the tropical region coincides with the reported seasonal and latitudinal variations of mesospheric inversion layers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10121935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,3]],"date-time":"2018-12-03T06:02:09Z","timestamp":1543816929000},"page":"1935","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Mesospheric Bore Observations Using Suomi-NPP VIIRS DNB during 2013\u20132017"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Yucheng","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Space Weather, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Center for Atmospheric Science, Hampton University, Hampton, VA 23668, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0577-5289","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Atmospheric Science, Hampton University, Hampton, VA 23668, USA"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mathematics and Information Science, Henan Normal University, Xinxiang 453000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2516-5560","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven D.","family":"Miller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523, USA"}]},{"suffix":"III","given":"William C.","family":"Straka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}]},{"given":"Steven M.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Space Physics, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Space Weather, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Shengli","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Space Weather, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6295","DOI":"10.1029\/97JD02498","article-title":"Mesospheric bores","volume":"103","author":"Dewan","year":"1998","journal-title":"J.
