TL;DR: The Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE) was designed to quantify gravity wave dynamics and effects from orographic and other sources to regions of dissipation at high altitudes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The unanticipated ability of the Day/Night Band on the NOAA/NASA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership environmental satellite to resolve gravity structures near the mesopause via nightglow emissions at unprecedented subkilometric detail is highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, a bright wave event in the nighttime mesosphere was observed using three wideangle imaging systems located at the Boston University field station at McDonald Observatory (MDO), Fort Davis, Texas, and the Starfire Optical Range (SOR), Albuquerque, New Mexico.

TL;DR: This article detected the presence of neutral sodium emission (589.1 nm) in the direction of the anti-solar/lunar points during the nights of 21-22 August and 18-20 November, 1998 UT, centered on the new Moon period.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine observations of the ionospheric profiles on Mars obtained on 9-27 March 1999 by the radio science experiment onboard the Mars Global Surveyor satellite, and compare their day-to-day variability with same-day observations on Earth.
