Paper Abstract

The direction, amplitude, and horizontal and vertical wavelengths are intrinsic attributes of Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGWs) propagating through the upper atmosphere. The observable airglow modulation has been related to intrinsic amplitude through the 'cancellation factor', the horizontal wavelength from image measurements, the observed directions from image motion fields. The vertical wavelength is traditionally obtained using the wave dispersion relationship from the intrinsic phase speed, which is ded
