Investigation of inertia-gravity waves in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere over northern Germany observed with collocated VHF/UHF radars (2004, positive): “Such a method to analyse gravity waves moving across an array of surface-based meteorological atmospheric pressure sensors has been described by Nappo(2002). We applied here the cross-spectral analysis only for a pair of the radars, however using additional information for the wave propagation direc”
Nocturnal meso-beta basin and katabatic flows on a midlatitude island (2007, background): “Terrain-generated gravity waves are stationary relative to the ground surface (Nappo 2002), like the oscillatory behavior detected in the present katabatic flow.”
The deep propagating gravity wave experiment (deepwave): an airborne and ground-based exploration of gravity wave propagation and effects from their sources throughout the lower and middle atmosphere (2016, background): “…properties, and fluxes (Hines 1960; Eliassen and Palm 1961; Bretherton 1969a,b; Booker and Bretherton 1967; Gossard and Hooke 1975; Smith 1980; Nappo 2013); 2) GW sources, characteristics, and responses (Fritts 1984; Fritts and Alexander 2003); 3) GW refraction, mean flow interactions, and…”
Boundary-layer development and gravity waves in conventionally neutral wind farms (2017, background): “The size and inclination of these structures is the same for every variable, but the exact locations of minima and maxima differ according to the polarisation equations (Nappo 2002).”
Review of wave‐turbulence interactions in the stable atmospheric boundary layer (2015, methodology): “The K-H modes follow directly from the Helmholtz profile, which consists of two half-spaces A below B with a constant density (𝜌) and a fluid speed (u) in each space, i.e., 𝜌B and uB in the top half and 𝜌A and uA in the bottom half [e.g., Nappo, 2012].”
Turbulence energetics in stably stratified geophysical flows: Strong and weak mixing regimes (2008, background): “It is conceivable that the weak turbulence regime is most probably dominated by internal waves, which efficiently transport momentum but do not transport heat (see e.g. Nappo, 2002).”
A Total Turbulent Energy Closure Model for Neutrally and Stably Stratified Atmospheric Boundary Layers (2007, background): “For a field of linear internal gravity waves, in a nonrotating fluid, the ratio is unity (e.g., Nappo 2002) The difference is that in the latter case the energy source is ex-ternal to the flow .”
Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain (2018, background): “However, the few existing wave-like drag parameterizations are still far from being fully adequate [194,198,206].”
GNSS ionospheric seismology: Recent observation evidences and characteristics (2015, background): “where ~ u z 1⁄4 ffiffiffiffiffi ρ0 p ~ uz and P 1⁄4 ~ Pffiffiffiffi ρ0 p are the normalized vertical velocity ũz and pressure ~ P under the omega-k domain, respectively, Ω = ω − ux0kx − uy0ky is the frequency induced by the wind (Sun et al., 2007; Nappo, 2012), ρ0 is the unperturbed atmospheric dens”
Three‐dimensional waveform modeling of ionospheric signature induced by the 2004 Sumatra tsunami (2006, methodology): “The linearised momentum and continuity equations, for irrotational, inviscid and incompressible flow [Nappo, 2002], are used here to describe the gravity wave propagation by the way of a vertical propagator dV dz = AV with:”
