Snively, J.B. and Pasko, V.P. (2003). Breaking of thunderstorm-generated gravity waves as a source of short-period ducted waves at mesopause altitudes. Geophysical Research Letters 30: doi: 10.1029/2003GL018436. issn: 0094-8276.

Numerical simulation results indicate that the breaking of atmospheric gravity waves generated by tropospheric convection can excite short-period secondary waves, which are trapped in the lower thermospheric duct and which closely resemble quasi-monochromatic structures commonly observed in airglow imaging experiments.
