Propagation of medium-scale gravity waves (GWs) in the thermosphere/ionosphere is observed remotely, using multi-frequency and multi-point continuous Doppler sounding system located in the western part of Czechia. Reflection heights of the sounding radio waves are determined from a nearby ionosonde. Phase velocity vectors of GWs are calculated from time/phase delays between signals corresponding to different transmitter–receiver pairs that reflect in the ionosphere at different locations. As various frequencies reflect at different heights, reflection points of radio signals are separated both horizontally and vertically, and the investigation of GW propagation in the ionosphere is performed in three dimensions. Results obtained for two 1-year periods representing the solar maximum (July 2014–June 2015) and current solar minimum (September 2018–August 2019) are presented. It is shown that GWs in the ionosphere usually propagated with wave vectors directed obliquely downward. A statistical distribution of wave vector elevation angles is presented. A model of neutral winds is used to estimate the wave characteristics in the wind-rest frame. It is found that the distribution of elevation angles is narrower in the wind-rest frame than in the Earth frame. Seasonal and diurnal changes of propagation directions and attenuations of GWs are discussed. The wind-rest frame wavelengths of the analyzed GWs were usually from ~ 80 to 300 km, and the propagation velocities were mostly between ~ 100 and ~ 220 m/s.

电离层重力波特征的统计研究

使用位于捷克西部的多频和多点连续多普勒测深系统,可以远程观察热尺度/电离层中尺度重力波(GWs)的传播。探测无线电波的反射高度由附近的离子探空仪确定。GW的相速度矢量是根据对应于在不同位置电离层中反射的不同收发器对的信号之间的时间/相位延迟计算得出的。由于各种频率在不同的高度反射,无线电信号的反射点在水平和垂直方向上都分开,并且电离层中GW传播的研究从三个维度进行。给出了两个为期一年的结果,分别代表太阳最高(2014年7月至2015年6月)和当前太阳最低(2018年9月至2019年8月)。结果表明,电离层中的GW通常以倾斜向下指向的波矢传播。给出了波矢仰角的统计分布。使用中性风模型来估计风架中的波浪特征。可以发现,风架中的仰角分布比土架中的仰角分布窄。讨论了传播方向的季节性和昼夜变化以及GWs的衰减。被分析的GWs的防风架波长通常为〜80至300 km,传播速度大多在〜100至〜220 m / s之间。结果表明,电离层中的GW通常以倾斜向下指向的波矢传播。给出了波矢仰角的统计分布。使用中性风模型来估计风架中的波浪特征。已经发现,在风架中的仰角分布比在土架中的仰角分布窄。讨论了传播方向的季节性和昼夜变化以及GWs的衰减。被分析的GWs的防风架波长通常为〜80至300 km,传播速度大多在〜100至〜220 m / s之间。结果表明,电离层中的GW通常以倾斜向下指向的波矢传播。给出了波矢仰角的统计分布。使用中性风模型来估计风架中的波浪特征。可以发现,风架中的仰角分布比土架中的仰角分布窄。讨论了传播方向的季节性和昼夜变化以及GWs的衰减。被分析的GWs的防风架波长通常为〜80至300 km,传播速度大多在〜100至〜220 m / s之间。使用中性风模型来估计风架中的波浪特征。可以发现,风架中的仰角分布比土架中的仰角分布窄。讨论了传播方向的季节性和昼夜变化以及GWs的衰减。被分析的GWs的防风架波长通常为〜80至300 km,传播速度大多在〜100至〜220 m / s之间。使用中性风模型来估计风架中的波浪特征。可以发现,风架中的仰角分布比土架中的仰角分布窄。讨论了传播方向的季节性和昼夜变化以及GWs的衰减。被分析的GWs的防风架波长通常为〜80至300 km,传播速度大多在〜100至〜220 m / s之间。
