Statistical analysis of thermospheric gravity waves from Fabry-Perot Interferometer measurements of atomic oxygen

Abstract: Abstract. Data from the Fabry-Perot Interferometers at KEOPS (Sweden), Sodankylä (Finland), and Svalbard (Norway), have been analysed for gravity wave activity on all the clear nights from 2000 to 2006. A total of 249 nights were available from KEOPS, 133 from Sodankylä and 185 from the Svalbard FPI. A Lomb-Scargle analysis was performed on each of these nights to identify the periods of any wave activity during the night. Comparisons between many nights of data allow the general characteristics of the waves t… Show more

“…The presence of gravity waves in the ionosphere and thermosphere was first demonstrated by Hines (1960). Recent observational studies of gravity waves in the thermosphere include Ford et al (2008), Nicolls (2009), andYang et al (2010). Theoretical studies include Hickey et al (2009), and Yiğit et al (2014.…”

“…Errors in line‐of‐sight (LOS) wind determination have decreased significantly with the switch to imaging CCD detectors in recent years [ Aruliah et al , 2005; Ford et al , 2006, 2008; Meriwether et al , 2011; Makela et al , 2011]. The advantage of these imaging FPI observations over imaging all‐sky FPI observations [e.g., Conde and Smith , 1995; Conde et al , 2001; Aruliah et al , 2010] during times of auroral activity is the ability to detect small Doppler shifts with errors of only several ms −1 in a given direction.…”
