Evidence for a Saturated Spectrum of Atmospheric Gravity Waves.
TL;DR: In this article, it was demonstrated that observed saturation spectra are not solely due to individually saturated waves but most likely result from amplitude limiting instabilities arising from wave superposition, and that, while the spectrum is saturated at large wavenumbers, the total kinetic energy per unit mass and the characteristic vertical wavelength increase with altitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of Velocity Fluctuations in the Lower Atmosphere Using the MU Radar. Part II: Momentum Fluxes and Energy Densities
David C. Fritts,Toshitaka Tsuda,T. E. VanZandt,S. A. Smith,Toru Sato,Shoichiro Fukao,Susumu Kato +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of the frequency spectra, the vertical profiles of energy density, and the momentum flux of the motion field observed during a six-day campaign in March 1986 using the MU Radar in Shigaraki, Japan is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meteoroid Engineering Model (MEM): A Meteoroid Model for the Inner Solar System
TL;DR: In an attempt to overcome some of the deficiencies of existing meteoroid models, NASA's Space Environments and Effects (SEE) Program sponsored a 3-year research effort at the University of Western Ontario.
Journal ArticleDOI
ATLAS Space Shuttle studies Earth's atmosphere and solar input
TL;DR: A shuttle-based component of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS), completed its second mission making detailed measurements of Earth's middle atmosphere and solar input in April 1993 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies of Velocity Fluctuations in the Lower Atmosphere Using the MU Radar. Part 1. Azimuthal Anisotropy
T. E. VanZandt,S. A. Smith,Toshitaka Tsuda,David C. Fritts,Toru Sato,Shoichiro Fukao,Susumu Kato +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the azimuthal anisotropy of the motion field observed during a six-day campaign in March 1986 using the MU radar in Shigaraki, Japan is presented.
