Comparison of travelling ionospheric disturbance measurements with thermosphere/ionosphere model results [PDF]
Abstract. Comparisons of modeled and measured responses of the ionosphere to the passage of atmospheric gravity waves are made for data recorded by an ionosonde located at Almaty (76°55' E, 43°15' N) from June 2000 until May 2001. Temporal variations of the altitude (hmF) and electron content (NmF) of the F-layer peak are used for comparisons.

Impact of Non‐Classical Gravity‐Wave Dynamics on Middle‐Atmosphere Mean Flow and Solar Tides
Abstract Conventional gravity‐wave (GW) parameterizations neglect three aspects of GW dynamics. Instead of momentum and entropy fluxes they use Eliassen‐Palm fluxes, thereby neglecting the possibility that resolved flow are not in geostrophic and hydrostatic balance.

Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances and Ionospheric Perturbations Associated With Solar Flares in September 2017 [PDF]
AbstractSolar flares provide strong impulsive radiation and energy injection to the sunlit upper atmosphere. The impact on the ionosphere is immense in spatial scale, and therefore, it is not immediately evident if dramatically elevated neutral heating can lead to excitation of acoustic gravity waves.

Do Eclipse‐Induced Thermospheric TADs Originate From Above or Below?
Abstract Solar eclipses generate significant wave activity in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The source region of eclipse‐induced Traveling Atmospheric Disturbances (TADs) in the upper thermosphere—particularly the relative contributions of gravity waves from the thermosphere itself versus the lower atmosphere—remains unknown. Using the Whole Atmosphere

The ionospheric behavior in conjugate hemispheres during the 3 October 2005 solar eclipse [PDF]
We investigate the ionospheric behavior in conjugate hemispheres during the 3 October 2005 solar eclipse, on the basis of observations of electron temperature (Te) from the Defense Meteorological Satellites Program (DMSP) spacecraft, F2 layer critical

Wave‐Based Quantification of Ion Composition in the Earth's Magnetosphere‐Ionosphere‐Coupling Region
Abstract Ion composition critically determines the basic kinetic characteristics of plasma and affects energy transmission of the magnetosphere. However, it exhibits significant variations with altitude, latitude, local time, longitude, and also with geomagnetic and solar activity.

Some aspects of large-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances which originate at conjugate locations in auroral zones, cross the equator and sometimes encircle the earth [PDF]
The occurrence of large-scale travelling ionospheric disturbances (LS-TIDs) has been examined. Initially some literature on their generation is considered.

Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances Generated by Solar Flares—Not so Sudden?
Abstract It is known that solar flares generate instantaneous ionization enhancement, referred to as sudden ionospheric disturbance (SID), that occurs simultaneously across the entire dayside. In this work, we use high‐rate 1‐s data of total electron content (TEC) to analyse ionospheric response to 13 solar flares that occurred in 2003–2023.
