Numerical simulation of bore generation and morphology in thermal and Doppler ducts
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of numerical simulations employing a model describing nonlinear incompressible dynamics to explore bore generation and morphology for several ducting geometries was performed, including idealized thermal ducts in close proximity to, and more remote from, reflecting boundaries, an idealized Doppler duct remote from boundaries, and a combination of thermal and Dopperler ducts at nearby altitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic radiation by ocean surface waves
Steve Arendt,David C. Fritts +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived an analytic expression for the acoustic radiation by a pair of ocean surface waves, and then extended the result to the case of an arbitrary spectrum of ocean surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of a mesospheric front in a thermal-doppler duct over King George Island, Antarctica
José Valentin Bageston,Cristiano Max Wrasse,Paulo Batista,Robert Hibbins,David C. Fritts,Delano Gobbi,V. F. Andrioli +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to solve the problem of unstructured data by using the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License (CC3.0) for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viscous Stabilization of Gravity Wave Critical Level Flows
David C. Fritts,Marvin A. Geller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a viscous stabilization criterion for gravity wave critical level flow is derived to be Z¼≤ 2.5 Zr where Z is the vertical thickness of the unstable region in the vicinity of a gravity wavecritical level calculated with an inviscid linear theory and Zy is the viscous length scale for gravity-wave critical level interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
The MaCWAVE program to study gravity wave influences on the polar mesosphere
Richard A. Goldberg,David C. Fritts,F. J. Schmidlin,Bifford P. Williams,Charles L. Croskey,John D. Mitchell,Martin Friedrich,James M. Russell,U. Blum,K. H. Fricke +9 more
TL;DR: MaCWAVE (Mountain and Convective Waves Ascending VErtically) was a highly coordinated rocket, ground-based, and satellite program designed to address gravity wave forcing of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) as mentioned in this paper.
