Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Simulation of the Long-Range Propagation of Gravity Wave Packets at High Latitudes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a 2-D, nonlinear, time-dependent numerical model to simulate the propagation of wave packets under average high latitude, winter conditions. And they found that wave energy density was sustained over large horizontal distances for waves ducted in the stratosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airglow variations associated with nonideal ducting of gravity waves in the lower thermosphere region
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical full-wave model is used to study the response of the O2 atmospheric airglow to ducted gravity waves in the mesopause region, and significant departures from the predictions of the basic theory are obtained when the ducting in the presence of the eddy and molecular diffusion of heat and momentum in a nonisothermal background atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of theories for gravity wave induced fluctuations in airglow emissions
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of theories for the gravity wave induced fluctuations in the intensity of airglow emissions and the associated temperature of the source region is made in terms of Krassovsky's ratio eta(sub E) for a vertically extended emission region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionospheric signatures of gravity waves produced by the 2004 Sumatra and 2011 Tohoku tsunamis: A modeling study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors employ a linear full-wave model and a nonlinear time-dependent model to examine the ionospheric response to the atmospheric gravity wave perturbations induced by the 2004 Sumatra and the 2011 Tohoku tsunamis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal and latitudinal variations of gravity wave-driven fluctuations in OH nightglow
TL;DR: In this paper, a model which incorporates extended OH-layer emission and gravity-wave dynamics with eddy diffusivities is set forth to analyze seasonal and latitudinal variations in the OH nightglow.
