Self‐Acceleration and Instability of Gravity Wave Packets: 3. Three‐Dimensional Packet Propagation, Secondary Gravity Waves, Momentum Transport, and Transient Mean Forcing in Tidal Winds Open
Dong et al. (2020, https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JD030691 ) employed a new compressible model to examine gravity wave (GW) self‐acceleration dynamics, instabilities, secondary gravity wave (SGW) generation, and mean forcing for GW packets lo…

Numerical Simulations of High‐Frequency Gravity Wave Propagation Through Fine Structures in the Mesosphere Open
An anelastic numerical model is used to study the influences of fine structure (FS) in the wind and stability profiles on gravity wave (GW) propagation in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT). Large amplitude GWs interacting with FS…

Gravity Wave Dynamics in a Mesospheric Inversion Layer: 1. Reflection, Trapping, and Instability Dynamics Open
An anelastic numerical model is employed to explore the dynamics of gravity waves (GWs) encountering a mesosphere inversion layer (MIL) having a moderate static stability enhancement and a layer of weaker static stability above. Instabilit…

Gravity Wave‐Induced Ionospheric Irregularities in the Postsunset Equatorial Valley Region Open
Plasma irregularities in the postsunset equatorial valley region ionosphere are investigated experimentally and through numerical simulation. Coherent radar backscatter observed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory shows two classes of irreg…

Tsunami‐driven gravity waves in the presence of vertically varying background and tidal wind structures Open
Many characteristics of tsunami‐driven gravity waves (TDGWs) enable them to easily propagate into the thermosphere and ionosphere with appreciable amplitudes capable of producing detectable perturbations in electron densities and total ele…
