• Parameterization of the effects of vertically propagating gravity waves for thermosphere general circulation models: Sensitivity study (2008, background): “The expressions for mI have been found for molecular viscosity and heat conduction [Vadas and Fritts, 2005], ion friction [Gossard and Hooke, 1975], and Newtonian cooling [Holton, 1982].”
• Internal wave coupling processes in Earth's atmosphere (2014, unknown): “…+ βrad(z), (3) where the height-dependent total dissipation βtot(z) is a sum of dissipations due to ion drag, molecular viscosity and thermal conduction (Vadas and Fritts , 2005), eddy viscosity, nonlinear diffusion (Weinstock , 1982; Medvedev and Klaassen, 1995, 2000), and radiative damping…”
• Horizontal and vertical propagation and dissipation of gravity waves in the thermosphere from lower atmospheric and thermospheric sources (2007, unknown): “When dissipation is unimportant, this assumption is (wIr/cs) 2 (k2 + 1/4H2) [Vadas and Fritts, 2005].”
• Modeling the effects of gravity wave momentum deposition on the general circulation above the turbopause (2009, background): “Several studies indicated a possible role of vertically propagating GWs [Vadas and Fritts, 2005; Miyoshi and Fujiwara, 2008], and now we are able to consider it quantitatively.”
• Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds (2008, background): “…could penetrate to mesospheric and lower thermospheric (MLT) altitudes and have corresponding TI responses (Alexander et al., 1995; Piani et al., 2000; Lane et al., 2001; Lane and Clark, 2002; Horinouchi et al., 2002; Vadas and Fritts, 2004, 2006, hereafter VF06; Vadas, 2007, hereafter V07).”
• Sources of the traveling ionospheric disturbances observed by the ionospheric TIDDBIT sounder near Wallops Island on 30 October 2007 (2010, background): “It includes the effects of kinematic viscosity and thermal diffusivity, the main sources of dissipation for high‐ frequency GWs with small amplitudes [ Vadas and Fritts, 2005, hereafter VF05].”
• Thermospheric responses to gravity waves arising from mesoscale convective complexes (2004, background): “(See also Vadas and Fritts, 2004 .) A larger density scale height implies that at a given altitude, the kinematic viscosity, 3= O � , is smaller than it would be in an isothermal atmosphere.”
• Generation of large-scale gravity waves and neutral winds in the thermosphere from the dissipation of convectively generated gravity waves (2009, unknown): “…wave-induced diffusion, and nonlinear wave interactions [Pitteway and Hines, 1963;Hines and Hooke, 1970; Francis, 1973; Gossard and Hooke, 1975; Richmond, 1978; Del Genio and Schubert, 1979; Maeda, 1985; Vadas and Fritts, 2005 (hereinafter VF2005); Miyoshi and Fujiwara, 2008; Yiğit et al., 2008].”
