Journal ArticleDOI
Correction to “Gravity wave dynamics and effects in the middle atmosphere”
TL;DR: Fritts and Alexander as mentioned in this paper pointed out a few minor errors in the equations of the original paper, and several others had also pointed these out, prompting this correction and a corrigendum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medium-frequency radar studies of gravity-wave seasonal variations over Hawaii (22°N, 160°W)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used simple numerical filters to estimate wind variances with period bands of 0.1 to 1 hour and 1 to 5 hours from data taken with the medium-frequency radar on the island of Kauai, Hawaii (22°N, 160°W).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the wind and temperature measurements made by rocket, radar, and satellite instrumentation in the equatorial and subtropical middle atmosphere accompanying the MALTED/CADRE campaign conducted at Alcantara, Brazil during August 1994.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical and radiative forcing of the summer mesopause circulation and thermal structure: 2. Seasonal variations
TL;DR: In this paper, an extension of the steady dynamical/radiative summer mesopause model is presented to examine the variability of wave forcing required to account for the observed seasonal changes of temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine Structure, Instabilities, and Turbulence in the Lower Atmosphere: High-Resolution In-Situ Slant-Path Measurements with the DataHawk UAV and Comparisons with Numerical Modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, a new platform for high-resolution in situ measurements in the lower troposphere is described and its capabilities are demonstrated using a small GPS-controlled DataHawk unmanned aerial system (UAS).
