Longitudinal variability of thermospheric zonal winds near dawn and dusk
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Understanding the morphology and dynamics of the thermosphere is key to understanding the Earth’s upper atmosphere as a whole. Thermospheric winds play an important role in this process by transporting momentum and energy and affecting the composition ...

Effects of Latitude-Dependent Gravity Wave Source Variations on the Middle and Upper Atmosphere
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are generated in the lower atmosphere by various weather phenomena. They propagate upward, carry energy and momentum to higher altitudes, and appreciably influence the general circulation upon depositing them in the middle

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