TL;DR: In this article, a wave breaking event of unusually large amplitude and momentum flux was observed with an OH airglow imager and the meteor radar at the MU Observatory in Japan, and the resulting local forcing of the mean flow represents a vigorous source of secondary gravity waves that penetrate well into the thermosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed three-year data collected by a field-aligned airglow imaging system located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory near La Serena, Chile to determine the occurrence of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived analytic, linear, f-plane compressible solutions to local, interval, 3-D horizontal and vertical body forces, and heat/coolings in an isothermal, unsheared, and nondissipative atmosphere.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of the thermosphere and ionosphere to gravity waves (GWs) excited by 6 h of deep convection in Brazil on the evening of 01 October 2005 via the use of convective plume, ray trace, and global models was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, bottom-type spread F events were observed in the south American equatorial region by a VHF coherent radar and an ionosonde at Sao Luis (2.5°S, 44.3°W).
