Internal atmospheric gravity waves at ionospheric heights
TLDR
In this paper, the proper interpretation of irregular motions in the upper atmosphere has been investigated by a variety of techniques, but their proper interpretation has yet to be established. But their proper meaning has not yet been established.Abstract:
Irregularities and irregular motions in the upper atmosphere have been detected and studied by a variety of techniques during recent years, but their proper interpretation has yet to be established...read more

Gravity wave dynamics and effects in the middle atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a review of gravity wave sources and characteristics, the evolution of the gravity wave spectrum with altitude and with variations of wind and stability, the character and implications of observed climatologies, and the wave interaction and instability processes that constrain wave amplitudes and spectral shape are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence and stress owing to gravity wave and tidal breakdown
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of mean winds and gravity waves on the mean momentum budget were investigated and it was shown that the existence of critical levels in the mesosphere significantly limits the ability of gravity waves to generate turbulence.

Study of the ionospheric D-region using partial reflections
F.F. Gardner,J.L. Pawsey +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method was developed for determining electron density and collision frequency from observations of such echoes, based on the distinctive behaviour of the two magneto-ionic components, which is explained in terms of differences in partial reflection coefficients at the place of reflection together with differential absorption below.

Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances in the F Region
TL;DR: In this paper, the horizontal movements of travelling ionospheric disturbances recorded on a single radio frequency from April 1948 to March 1957 are analyzed for seasonal and diurnal variations of occurrence and of direction and speed of travel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Travelling disturbances in the ionosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the horizontal and vertical movements of short-period disturbances in the ionosphere and found that quasi-periodic travelling disturbances with periods of from 10 to 60 min. are of frequent occurrence in the F region by day.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the existing knowledge of horizontal movements in the ionosphere as obtained by radio methods is presented, and the results obtained at Cambridge, England, by this method are compared with other workers using this and other methods in different parts of the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, seven times in a year's continuous observations, marked oscillations with periods from 5 to 15 minutes were simultaneously recorded on a barograph and a damped anemometer located at La Jolla, California.
