• Estimation of Gravity Wave Momentum Flux and Phase Speeds from Quasi-Lagrangian Stratospheric Balloon Flights. Part II: Results from the Vorcore Campaign in Antarctica (2008, methodology): “Finally, there is also good qualitative agreement between Vorcore and HIRDLS observations, despite the fact that the HIRDLS measurements only extend as far as 60°S (Alexander et al. 2008).”
• Variability and predictability of the space environment as related to lower atmosphere forcing (2016, methodology): “Recent numerical studies using WACCM-X by Sassi et al. [2016] found that during periods of strong TPWs events (with periods between 3 and 10days), the dissipation of TPWs in the lower thermosphere reinforces the mean meridional circulation with stronger upwelling in the tropics and downwelling at hi”
