New AIM/CIPS global observations of gravity waves near 50–55 km

Abstract This paper describes a new data set from the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) Cloud Imaging and Particle Size (CIPS) instrument, from which gravity waves (GWs) at an altitude of 50–55 km can be inferred. CIPS is sensitive to GWs with horizontal wavelengths from ~15 to 600 km and vert...
