Influence of parameterized small-scale gravity waves on the migrating diurnal tide in Earth's thermosphere

open access: yes, 2017
Effects of subgrid-scale gravity waves (GWs) on the diurnal migrating tides are investigated from the mesosphere to the upper thermosphere for September equinox conditions, using a general circulation model coupled with the extended spectral nonlinear GW

Development and Validation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model With Thermosphere and Ionosphere Extension (WACCM‐X 2.0)

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2018
Key developments have been made to the NCAR Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model with thermosphere and ionosphere extension (WACCM‐X). Among them, the most important are the self‐consistent solution of global electrodynamics, and transport of O+ in ...

Statistical Characterization of GITM Thermospheric Horizontal Winds in Comparison to GOCE Estimations

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2022
Characterization of the thermospheric horizontal wind is an important challenge in atmospheric modeling due to its vital role in the transport of densities and energy, associations with the diurnal tide, and interplay with vertical winds that drive ...

Limb sounders tracking topographic gravity wave activity from the stratosphere to the ionosphere around midlatitude Andes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Several studies have shown that the surroundings of the highest Andes mountains at midlatitudes in the Southern Hemisphere exhibit gravity waves (GWs) generated by diverse sources which may traverse the troposphere and then penetrate the upper layers if ...

Role of gravity waves in vertical coupling during sudden stratospheric warmings

open access: yes, 2016
Gravity waves are primarily generated in the lower atmosphere, and can reach thermospheric heights in the course of their propagation. This paper reviews the recent progress in understanding the role of gravity waves in vertical coupling during sudden ...

Predicting Atmospheric Effective Sound Speed Using Synthetic Infrasound and Machine Learning

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract We introduce a machine learning (ML) model that reconstructs atmospheric conditions at the location of an explosive source using regionally recorded synthetic infrasound. A convolutional neural network (CNN) processes full waveforms and source‐receiver geometries to estimate the vertical profile of effective sound speed.
