- Recent developments in gravity‐wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity‐wave momentum flux from observations and models (2010, methodology): “Also, previous modelling and observational work shows that much of the momentum-flux spectrum remains unresolved in such high-resolution models (Hamilton, 1996; Hertzog et al., 2001; Fritts et al. 2006).”
- Global Gravity Wave Variances from Aura MLS: Characteristics and Interpretation (2008, background): “…GWs can be excited by flow across mountains, convection, and imbalance/instability within rapidly evolving baroclinic jet/frontal systems (e.g., Fritts et al. 2006), the relative contributions of these sources to the GW spectrum encountered in the middle atmosphere remains highly uncertain,…”
- Ionospheric behavior over Europe during the solar eclipse of 3 October 2005 (2008, background): “…waves are generated by many sources including topography, explosions, motion of large meteorological systems, wind shear, solar terminator motion, and others (Somsikov, 1995; Manzano et al., 1998; Martinis and Manzano, 1999; Fritts and Alexander, 2003; Fritts et al., 2006; Sauli et al., 2006b).”
- Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds (2008, background): “…GW amplitude increases accompanying propagation to high altitudes lead to a range of instability dynamics, turbulence, and effects in the MLT where kinematic viscosity and thermal diffusivity are not sufficient to prevent such dynamics (see Fritts and Alexander, 2003; Fritts et al., 2002, 2006).”
