Global propagation of atmospheric gravity waves: A review
TLDR
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.About:

TL;DR: The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) as discussed by the authors has been operating as an international co-operative organization for over 10 years and has been successful in addressing a wide range of scientific questions concerning processes in the magnetosphere, ionosphere, thermosphere, and mesosphere, as well as general plasma physics questions.

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
Gravity wave initiation of equatorial spread F: A case study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that although initiation by a gravity wave seems likely, the gravity wave interaction cannot yield the large displacements observed without further amplification by the Rayleigh-Taylor instability.

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.

Review of electric and magnetic fields accompanying seismic and volcanic activity
TL;DR: In this paper, magnetic, electric and electromagnetic field variations were obtained on Mt. Unzen in Japan, Reunion Island in Indian Ocean, the Long Valley volcanic caldera in California, and for faults in China and Russia, California and several other locations.

Internal atmospheric gravity waves at ionospheric heights
TL;DR: In this paper, the proper interpretation of irregular motions in the upper atmosphere has been investigated by a variety of techniques, but their proper interpretation has yet to be established. But their proper meaning has not yet been established.

The critical layer for internal gravity waves in a shear flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the Richardson number R on the propagation of gravity waves from the troposphere to the ionosphere is considered, and it is shown that if R is everywhere larger than 1/4, the waves are attenuated by a factor as they pass through a critical level at which U is equal to the horizontal phase speed, and momentum is transferred to the mean flow there.

A Theory of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory is presented which indicates that the quasi-biennial oscillation of the zonal wind in the tropical stratosphere is a result of the interaction of long-period, vertically propagating gravity waves with the Zonal wind.

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 winds and the F-region: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the neutral-air winds on the ionospheric F2-layer are considered in some detail, starting from a discussion of the forces acting on the air, the equations of motion are set up and solved.
