TL;DR: The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI) was used by the NASA TIMED satellite to measure the spectral radiance of the Earth's far ultraviolet airglow in the spectral region from 120 to 180 nm using a cross-track scanning spectrometer design as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis and interpretation of airglow and radar observations of quasi-monochromatic gravity waves in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere over Adelaide, Australia (35°S, 138°E)
Richard L. Walterscheid,James H. Hecht,Robert A. Vincent,Iain M. Reid,J. Woithe,Michael P. Hickey +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the directionality of quasi-monochromatic (QM) waves in the mesopause region is found to be highly anisotropic, especially during the solstices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertio‐gravity wave induced accelerations of mean flow having an imposed periodic component: Implications for tidal observations in the meteor region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that a significant contribution to the observed semidiurnal harmonic at meteor heights might result from inertio-gravity wave induced accelerations of the mean flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical cooling induced by dissipating internal gravity waves
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that vertically propagating internal gravity waves induce a downward transfer of sensible heat from regions of wave dissipation, and that this transfer of heat may result in a net cooling of regions of the upper atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dynamical-chemical model of wave-driven fluctuations in the OH nightglow
TL;DR: In this paper, a model that incorporates a five-reaction photochemical scheme and the complete dynamics of linearized acoustic-gravity waves in an isothermal, motionless atmosphere is presented.
