Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 We previously considered various aspects of gravity wave penetration and effects at mesospheric and thermospheric altitudes, including propagation, viscous effects on wave structure, characteristics, and damping, local body forcing, responses to solar

Estimation of orographically induced wave drag in the stable boundary layer during the CASES-99 experimental campaign [PDF]
, 2009 This paper addresses the quantification of gravity wave drag due to small hills in the stable boundary layer. A single column atmospheric model is used to forecast wind and temperature profiles in the boundary layer.

Satellite observations of middle atmosphere gravity wave absolute momentum flux and of its vertical gradient during recent stratospheric warmings [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are circulation anomalies in the polar region during winter. They mostly occur in the Northern Hemisphere and affect also surface weather and climate.

Quadratic Theory of Gravity with a Scalar Field and Type I Shapovalov Wave Spacetimes
Universe, 2022 For the quadratic theory of gravity with a scalar field, exact solutions are found for gravitational-wave models in Shapovalov I-type spacetimes, which do not arise in models of the general theory of relativity.

Gravity wave turbulence revealed by horizontal vibrations of the container [PDF]
, 2012 We experimentally study the role of the forcing on gravity-capillary wave turbulence. Previous laboratory experiments using spatially localized forcing (vibrating blades) have shown that the frequency power-law exponent of the gravity wave spectrum ...
