Hall, C.M. and Hoppe, U.-P. (1997). Characteristic vertical wavenumbers for the polar mesosphere. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL00805. issn: 0094-8276.

By measuring the vertical component of velocity in the height range 70--90 km above Troms¿ (69 ¿N, 19 ¿E), with a 1 km height resolution, we are able to estimate vertical wavenumber spectra. From time averages of these spectra we are able to identify characteristic wavenumbers, m*, which in turn, using well-established theory, may be interpreted in terms of wave energy and energy deposition rate.¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
