Roper, R.G. (1996). Rocket vapor trail releases revisited: Turbulence and the scale of gravity waves: Implications for the imaging Doppler interferometry/incoherent scatter radar controversy. Journal of Geophysical Research 101: doi: 10.1029/95JD03159. issn: 0148-0227.

The rate of diffusion of a trimethyl aluminum trail released by a Skylark rocket over Woomera, Australia (31¿S, 137¿E), in 1969 is interpreted in terms of molecular and turbulent diffusion, and is related to the scale of internal atmospheric gravity wave winds. Implications for disagreement between imaging Doppler interferometry and incoherent scatter radar winds are explored. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1996
