Abstract: The correlation between atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) and Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) has been poorly studied using both synchronous observations and numerical simulations. To investigate the modulation effects of GWs on TLEs, a troposphere-mesosphere quasi-electrostatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/atmos10110650
Abstract: Atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) are among the important energy and momentum transfer mechanisms from the troposphere to the middle and upper atmosphere. Despite their understood importance in governing the structure and dynamics of these regions,… read more here.
