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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomagnetic conjugate observations of medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances at midlatitude using all-sky airglow imagers
TL;DR: In this article, the first time simultaneous observations of medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) at geomagnetic conjugate points in both hemispheres, using two all-sky airglow imagers at midlatitudes, were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical study of nighttime medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances using midlatitude airglow images
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated statistical characteristics of the nighttime medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) observed in 630-nm airglow images at two stations, Rikubetsu (43.5°N, 34.8°MLAT) and Shigaraki (34.9°N and 25.4°MLA), in Japan for 1998-2000 near the solar maximum period.
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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The absorption and dissociative or ionizing effect of monochromatic radiation in an atmosphere on a rotating earth
TL;DR: In this article, the absorption of monochromatic radiation from the sun in an atmosphere of which the density varies exponentially with height is considered; the energy of the radiation, or a definite fraction of it, is supposed to dissociate or ionize the air, and the dissociation products are supposed to recombine with one another only, and not to diffuse away from the element in which they were formed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The upper atmosphere in motion
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the observational evidence for the upper atmosphere is presented, in groupings determined by the physical processes that are thought to be operative, and corresponding theories are measured against it.
Journal ArticleDOI
The absorption and dissociative or ionizing effect of monochromatic radiation in an atmosphere on a rotating earth part II. Grazing incidence
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the absorption of radiation from the sun in an atmosphere varying exponentially with the height is considered, as in a former paper; but here the earth's curvature, and that of the level layers in the atmosphere, is taken into account.

The viscous damping of atmospheric gravity waves
M. L. V. Pitteway,Colin O. Hines +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of viscous damping and thermal conduction at meteor heights in the upper atmosphere were investigated, and the results of this paper are consistent with the conclusions of an earlier analysis, insofar as the two overlap.
