Abstract
1 - Overview
- Motivation: Atmospheric gravity waves can degrade navigation, tracking, communications, and geolocation system signals. They can also affect satellite/debris orbit and reentry predictions.
- NASA's Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) is currently on ISS measuring atmospheric gravity waves in the OH airglow layer at ~87 km altitude
- Impact: Improved space weather understanding, estimation, and forecasting
