Gravity wave dynamics and effects in the middle atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a review of gravity wave sources and characteristics, the evolution of the gravity wave spectrum with altitude and with variations of wind and stability, the character and implications of observed climatologies, and the wave interaction and instability processes that constrain wave amplitudes and spectral shape are discussed.

Satellite observations of thermospheric tides: Results from the Wind Imaging Interferometer on UARS
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the atomic oxygen O(1S) 557.7-nm emission from the upper atmosphere research satellite to study the solar tides in the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic-gravity modes and large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances of a realistic, dissipative atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the acoustic-gravity modes that can propagate in a realistic dissipative atmosphere are computed for periods between 30 sec and 2 hours. But the results of the analysis differ from previous treatments by including dissipation and by using a realistic sound speed profile throughout the thermosphere.

All‐sky measurements of short period waves imaged in the OI(557.7 nm), Na(589.2 nm) and near infrared OH and O2(0,1) nightglow emissions during the ALOHA‐93 Campaign
TL;DR: The ALOHA-93 campaign was conducted at Haleakala Crater, Maui, to obtain novel information on the properties and sources of short period gravity waves over an extended height range ∼80-100 km as discussed by the authors.

Observational evidence of wave ducting and evanescence in the mesosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a collaborative radar and imaging study of gravity waves over the Hawaiian Islands was performed during October 1993 as part of the Airborne Lidar and Observations of Hawaiian Airglow 1993/Coupling and Dynamics of Regions Equatorial (ALOHA-93/CADRE) campaign to investigate the propagation characteristics of short-period (<1 hour) waves at nightglow altitudes.

Photochemical-dynamical modeling of the measured response of airglow to gravity waves: 1. Basic model for OH airglow
TL;DR: In this paper, a photochemical-dynamical model for the OH Meinel airglow was developed and used to study the fluctuations in OH emission due to atmospheric gravity waves propagating through the mesosphere.
