Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Modeling of the Propagation of Infrasonic Acoustic Waves Through the Turbulent Field Generated by the Breaking of Mountain Gravity Waves
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of atmospheric dynamics on ground-based infrasound measurements are investigated via 2-D numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations, and the sensitivity of the infrasonic phases to small-scale fluctuations is found to depend on the altitudes through which they are refracted toward the Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical and statistical evidence for long-range ducted gravity wave propagation over Halley, Antarctica
Jonathan B. Snively,Kim Nielsen,Michael P. Hickey,C. J. Heale,Michael J. Taylor,Tracy Moffat-Griffin +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, small-scale gravity waves were identified in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere over Halley, Antarctica, via ground-based airglow image data, and a significant fraction of these waves may be subject to reflections at altitudes above and below.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secular variations of OH nightglow emission and of the OH intensity-weighted temperature induced by gravity wave forcing in the MLT region
Tai Yin Huang,Michael P. Hickey +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 2D, time-dependent, fully nonlinear OH chemistry-dynamics model was used to investigate the effects of gravity wave packet on the 8,3 airglow (8,3) band and the intensity-weighted temperature induced by a gravity wave at three latitudes in the northern hemisphere in the Mesosphere/Lower Thermosphere region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity wave packet effects on chemical exothermic heating in the mesopause region
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction of transient, dissipating gravity wave packets with the minor species involved in the OH airglow chemistry in the mesopause region reveal large wave-driven downward fluxes of minor species.
An improvement in the numerical integration procedure used in the NASA Marshall engineering thermosphere model
TL;DR: A proposed replacement scheme for the integration of the barometric and diffusion equations in the NASA Marshall Engineering Thermosphere model is presented, based on Gaussian Quadrature, which is faster, more accurate and more reliable than the present integration scheme.
