Abstract

The DEEPWAVE program is an international collaboration designed to identify, characterize, and predict the generation and propagation of deeply propagating (up to ~100km altitude) atmospheric gravity waves. The Atmospheric Imaging Lab at Utah State University (USU) operated two Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mappers (AMTMs), on the GV aircraft and at Lauder NZ (45°S 169°E), from May 31 to July 22 of 2014. The AMTM is uniquely capable of measuring horizontal temperature wave structures in the OH airglow at 87km altitude.
