TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a linear model of the responses to local body forces to estimate the spectra of gravity waves arising due to vertical motions within mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) at equatorial latitudes.

TL;DR: In this paper, wind variances with time scales of 0.1 - 1 h and 1 - 5 h are estimated from medium frequency radar wind observations at altitudes 70 - 94 km over Hawaii (22°N, 160°W) during the years 1990-2000.
