• 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).”
• Mean and variable forcing of the middle atmosphere by gravity waves (2006, background): “While GW scales depend in large part on the spatial scales of convection, the temporal behavior poses an additional constraint, essentially eliminating GW periods shorter than the characteristic time scale of the convection (Vadas and Fritts, 2004).”
• Thermospheric responses to gravity waves: Influences of increasing viscosity and thermal diffusivity (2005, methodology): “[6] In a previous paper, we examined the dissipation of gravity waves subjected only to molecular viscosity [Vadas and Fritts, 2004].”
• Horizontal and vertical propagation and dissipation of gravity waves in the thermosphere from lower atmospheric and thermospheric sources (2007, unknown): “[4] Although this new dispersion relation has been used to study the thermospheric response to GWs from tropospheric convection [ Vadas and Fritts, 2004; VF2006], many GW properties have not yet been explored.”
• Generation of large-scale gravity waves and neutral winds in the thermosphere from the dissipation of convectively generated gravity waves (2009, unknown): “Linear models which calculate the generation of GWs from convection either consider a localized heating in the lower stratosphere [Alexander et al., 1995; Walterscheid et al., 2001; Beres, 2004] or an upward acceleration of air [Stull, 1976; Vadas and Fritts, 2004; VF2009].”
• Sources of the traveling ionospheric disturbances observed by the ionospheric TIDDBIT sounder near Wallops Island on 30 October 2007 (2010, methodology): “Thus, when they break or dissipate in the atmosphere, they create horizontal body forces [Hines, 1972; Vadas and Fritts, 2004, 2006 ].”
