TLDR
In this article, a series of measurements of neutral atmospheric wind velocity, turbulent structure, temperature and density were made during each launch between 90 and 250 km altitude, combining the experimental techniques of the two groups involved.Abstract:
Two Skylark rockets were launched from Woomera rocket range, Australia (31 degrees S) on the morning and evening of 31 May 1968. Coordinated series of measurements of neutral atmospheric wind velocity, turbulent structure, temperature and density were made during each launch between 90 and 250 km altitude, combining the experimental techniques of the two groups involved. This paper attempts to construct from the combined measurements made on these occasions a dynamic picture of the interactions of atmospheric structure, and to relate the observations to previous results obtained by ourselves and other workers.read more

Heating of the lower thermosphere by the dissipation of acoustic waves
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that under average conditions in winter the energy input into this region is of the order of 0.33 W/kg, the same as that estimated for gravity wave dissipation, and capable of producing a heating of at least 30 K/day.

The theory of homogeneous turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the kinematics of the field of homogeneous turbulence and the universal equilibrium theory of decay of the energy-containing eddies are discussed. But the authors focus on the dynamics of decay and not on the probability distribution of u(x).

Variations in exospheric density at heights near 1100km, derived from satellite orbits
G. E. Cook,Diana W. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: In an earlier paper as mentioned in this paper, values of exospheric density were obtained from the orbit of Echo 2 for the years 1964-1965, and the results indicated a semi-annual variation in density by a factor of between 2 and 3, considerably larger than predicted by existing atmospheric models.
