| 内容記述 | Atmospheric Explorer (AE) satellite data were used to establish whether coherent waves in the gravity wave range are present in both neutral and ionized media in the thermosphere. The AE-C data in particular are shown. Data consist of the in situ argon, helium, nitrogen, and oxygen densities, plasma density, and ion and electron temperatures. Filtering provides the fluctuation signals for each which are spectrum analyzed for power and cross spectra. The observed frequencies are essentially proportional to the spatial wavenumbers along the satellite track. Scale sizes range from thousands to tens of kilometers. |
