Nn. Pertsev, IDENTIFICATION OF THE HYDRODYNAMICAL OSCI LLATION TYPES IN AIRGLOW VARIATIONS, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 29(5), 1993, pp. 608-612
Three types of hydrodynamic oscillations that may be revealed from air
glow observational data are considered. These are i) planetary waves a
nd large-scale turbulence, ii) gravity waves, iii) acoustic waves. The
paper concerns the possibility to distinguish between the three types
of observed oscillations. The possibility is shown to depend on the o
bserved wave period and wavelength.
