Propagation of Long Period Acoustic Gravity Waves in the Atmosphere

Abstract

Atmospheric wave data from a multisensor array have been analyzed. It was found that Saturn Apollo launches generate acoustic gravity waves which propagate in the upper atmosphere and induce phase-path fluctuations. The dispersion study of a TID event has been used to illustrate the possibility of deriving neutral atmospheric structure from such type studies. The use of a parametric model to describe the power spectra of the phase-path fluctuations was investigated.
