Signature of gravity wave propagations from the troposphere to ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2022 We observed a gravity wave (GW) signature in the OH emission layer in the upper mesosphere, and 4 h later, a medium-scale travelling ionospheric disturbance (MSTID) in the OI 630 nm emission layer. Spectral analysis of the two waves showed that both have

, 2019 The ocean's interior is filled with waves that can only exist because the ocean is vertically stratified in temperature and salinity. Like waves at the ocean surface, internal waves are restored by gravity. These internal gravity waves are generated by wind, tides, and low-frequency flows.

Intercomparison of AIRS and HIRDLS stratospheric gravity wave observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 We investigate stratospheric gravity wave observations by the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite and the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) aboard NASA's Aura satellite.

Intermittency of gravity wave potential energies and absolute momentum fluxes derived from infrared limb sounding satellite observations [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Atmospheric gravity waves contribute significantly to the driving of the global atmospheric circulation. Because of their small spatial scales, their effect on the circulation is usually parameterized in general circulation models.

The nonlinear effects on the characteristics of gravity wave packets: dispersion and polarization relations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2000 By analyzing the results of the numerical simulations of nonlinear propagation of three Gaussian gravity-wave packets in isothermal atmosphere individually, the nonlinear effects on the characteristics of gravity waves are studied quantitatively.

Long-term MST radar observations of vertical wave number spectra of gravity waves in the tropical troposphere over Gadanki (13.5° N, 79.2° E): comparison with model spectra [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The potential utility of Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radar measurements of zonal, meridional and vertical winds for divulging the gravity wave vertical wave number spectra is discussed. The data collected during the years 1995–2004

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

Climatology, long-term variability and trend of resolved gravity wave drag in the stratosphere revealed by ERA5 [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsInternal gravity waves have well-known importance for atmospheric dynamics, transport and coupling between atmospheric layers, and their parameterized forcing affects the circulation in climate models, especially in the stratosphere.
