Characteristics of Short-period Wavelike Features Near 87 km Altitude From Airglow and Lidar Observations Over Maui [PDF]
, 2007 Small-scale (less than 15 km horizontal wavelength) wavelike structures known as ripples are a common occurrence in OH airglow images. Recent case studies attribute their origin to the presence of either convective or dynamical instabilities.

Observations of Gravity Wave Breakdown into Ripples Associated with Dynamical Instabilities [PDF]
, 2005 The breakdown of a high-frequency quasi-monochromatic gravity wave into smallscale ripples in OH airglow was observed on the night of 28 October 2003 at Maui, Hawaii (20.7ºN, 156.3ºW). The ripples lasted ~20 min.

Sodium Atoms in the Lunar Exotail: Observed Velocity and Spatial Distributions [PDF]
, 2011 The lunar sodium tail extends long distances due to radiation pressure on sodium atoms in the lunar exosphere. Our earlier observations measured the average radial velocity of sodium atoms moving down the lunar tail beyond Earth (i.e., near the anti ...

Has Science Established that the Cosmos is Physically Comprehensible? [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Most scientists would hold that science has not established that the cosmos is physically comprehensible - i.e. such that there is some as-yet undiscovered true physical theory of everything that is unified. This is an empirically untestable thesis and thus lies beyond the scope of science.
