Impact of Gravity Waves From Tropospheric and Non-tropospheric Sources on the Middle and Upper Atmosphere and Comparison with ICON/MIGHTI Winds

Erdal Yiğit, Alexander S. Medvedev, Ayden L. S. Gann +2

We study the dynamical and thermal roles of internal gravity waves generated in the troposphere and above using the Coupled Middle Atmosphere Thermosphere-2 General Circulation Mod…

Characterization of the Thermospheric Mean Winds and Circulation during Solstice using ICON/MIGHTI Observations

Erdal Yiğit, Manbharat Dhadly, Alexander S. Medvedev +4

Using the horizontal neutral wind observations from the MIGHTI instrument onboard NASA's ICON (Ionospheric Connection Explorer) spacecraft with continuous coverage, we determine th…

Dust storm-enhanced gravity wave activity in the Martian thermosphere observed by MAVEN and implication for atmospheric escape

Erdal Yiğit, Alexander S. Medvedev, Mehdi Benna +1

Lower atmospheric global dust storms affect the small- and large-scale weather and variability of the whole Martian atmosphere. Analysis of the CO density data from the Neutral…

Effects of latitude-dependent gravity wave source variations on the middle and upper atmosphere

Erdal Yiğit, Alexander S. Medvedev, Manfred Ern

Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are generated in the lower atmosphere by various weather phenomena. They propagate upward, carry energy and momentum to higher altitudes, and apprec…
