Seasonal Propagation Characteristics of MSTIDs Observed at High Latitudes Over Central Alaska Using the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar [PDF]
Near‐continuous electron density measurements obtained over a ∼3 year period, 2010–2013, using the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) in central Alaska (69°N, 147°W) have been analyzed to quantify the properties of over 650 high‐latitude medium ...

High-latitude thermospheric wind study using a Fabry-Perot interferometer at Tromsø in Norway : averages and variations during quiet times [PDF]
The average winds in the thermosphere during geomagnetically quiet times are important because they provide a baseline wind in the upper atmosphere, but they remain insufficiently understood at high latitudes.

We describe the Fabry—Perot interfero-meter designed to study Earth’s upper atmosphere. We propose a modification of the existing data processing method for determining the Doppler shift and Doppler widening and also for separating the observed line ...

Evidence for Horizontal Blocking and Reflection of a Small‐Scale Gravity Wave in the Mesosphere [PDF]
The variations of the horizontal phase velocity of an internal gravity wave, generated by wave “blocking” or “reflection” due to an inhomogeneous wind field, have been predicted theoretically and numerically investigated but had yet to be captured ...

Semi empirical longitudinal averaged termospheric wind model at 250 km for solar and geomagnectic activities quiet time [PDF]
This paper presents a semi empirical model of averaged longitudinal thermospheric neutral wind for quiet time periods of solar and geomagnetic activities with dependence on local time, day of the year and geographical latitude for 250 km of altitude ...

Storm-Time Equatorial Thermospheric Dynamics and Electrodynamics [PDF]
We present the first complete study of the dynamics of the equatorial upper atmosphere (180-350 km) during periods of strong magnetic activity driven by the Sun, which are generally referred as geomagnetic storms.

Statistical Spectral Characteristics of Three-Dimensional Winds in the Mesopause Region Revealed by the Andes Lidar [PDF]
By analyzing data recorded at the Andes Lidar Observatory in Cerro Pachon, Chile (30.3°S, 70.7°W) from May 2014 to July 2019, we investigated the fundamental features of three-dimensional wind and temperature spectra.

Accelerating Atmospheric Gravity Wave Simulations using Machine Learning: Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability and Mountain Wave Sources Driving Gravity Wave Breaking and Secondary Gravity Wave Generation [PDF]
Gravity waves (GWs) and their associated multi-scale dynamics are known to play fundamental roles in energy and momentum transport and deposition processes throughout the atmosphere. We describe an initial, two-dimensional (2-D), machine learning model –
