TLDR
In this article, a model calculation is performed by which the magnitude and form of the anticipated atmospheric wave train may be assessed, and both are found to be consistent with observations already recorded, but the question as to whether the Lorentz force or the Joule dissipation is the more important exciting agency provided by the current, is left unanswered because of present uncertainties connected with the nature of the current itself.About:

Atmospheric gravity waves generated in the high‐latitude ionosphere: A review
TL;DR: A review of theoretical and observational results describing atmospheric gravity wave (AGW)/traveling ionospheric disturbance (TID) phenomena at high latitudes is presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global propagation of atmospheric gravity waves: A review
TL;DR: The theoretical and observational evidence concerning the global propagation of atmospheric gravity waves is reviewed in this article, with special emphasis on the waves generated in the auroral zones, and it is concluded that the only natural sources of large-scale TIDs are in the ionospheric zones.

Acoustic‐gravity waves in the upper atmosphere
Kung C. Yeh,Chao H. Liu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the theory of acoustic-gravity waves, the interaction of such waves with the ionosphere, the experimental support for the existence of acoustic gravity waves in the upper atmosphere, and the role played by acoustic gravity wave in thermospheric dynamics.

Thermospheric response to a magnetic substorm
Arthur D. Richmond,S. Matsushita +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a computer model is used to simulate the winds and temperature variations in the thermosphere which result from auroral region electric currents during a large isolated magnetic substorm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity wave generation, propagation, and dissipation in the thermosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined large-scale gravity waves in the thermosphere and their ability to transfer energy from high to low latitudes during magnetic disturbances, assuming that the gravity wave source is either the Lorentz force of auroral electrojet currents or a heat input due to energetic particle precipitation or to Joule heating.

Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic‐gravity waves in the upper atmosphere due to a nuclear detonation and an earthquake
TL;DR: In this article, a model for the propagation of a disturbance from a localized impulse source in an unbounded dissipationless, planar, nonrotating, gravitationally stratified isothermal neutral atmosphere was developed, including a simple closed-form approximation appropriate to long period components of the motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical and observed acoustic‐gravity waves from explosive sources in the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix formulation is used to derive the pressure variation for acoustic-gravity waves from an explosive source in an atmosphere modeled by a large number of isothermal layers.

Observation of large‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances by spaced‐path high‐frequency instantaneous‐frequency measurements
K. L. Chan,O. G. Villard +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the instantaneous frequency of WWV 20 Mc/s (Washington, D.C.) and that of a highly stable c-w signal from Puerto Rico have been simultaneously and continuously recorded between October 1960 and September 1961 both at Stanford, California, and at Seattle, Washington.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incoherent scatter observations of traveling ionospheric disturbances
TL;DR: In this paper, the incoherent scatter technique was used to study large-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances above Puerto Rico and found that the surfaces of constant phase become vertical, disturbance amplitude becomes less, and the periods become greater.
