Abstract

Recent observational and modeling studies have revealed the importance of gravity waves propagating into the thermospheric region (~110 - 400 km) as they contribute significantly to changes in both winds and temperatures [e.g. Vadas and Fritts, 2005]. The distributions and variability of these thermospheric gravity wave parameters are not yet known.
