Turbulence and stress owing to gravity wave and tidal breakdown
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of mean winds and gravity waves on the mean momentum budget were investigated and it was shown that the existence of critical levels in the mesosphere significantly limits the ability of gravity waves to generate turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zonal flows in plasma—a review
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of zonal flow phenomena in plasmas is presented in this article, where the focus is on zonal flows generated by drift waves and the back-interaction of ZF on the drift waves, and various feedback loops by which the system regulates and organizes itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Book
Scaling, Self-Similarity, and Intermediate Asymptotics: Dimensional Analysis and Intermediate Asymptotics
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-traditional exposition of dimensional analysis, physical similarity theory, and general theory of scaling phenomena, using classical examples to demonstrate that the onset of scaling is not until the influence of initial and/or boundary conditions has disappeared but when the system is still far from equilibrium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity wave activity in the lower atmosphere: Seasonal and latitudinal variations
Simon J. Allen,Robert A. Vincent +1 more
TL;DR: A climatology of gravity wave activity in the lower atmosphere based on high-resolution radiosonde measurements provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology is presented in this article, where the vertical wavenumber power spectra of normalized temperature fluctuations are calculated within both the troposphere and the lower stratosphere and compared with the predictions of current gravity wave saturation theories.
