A model for gravity-wave spectra observed by Doppler sounding systems

A model for Mesosphere - Stratosphere - Troposphere (MST) radar spectra is developed following the formalism presented by Pinkel (1981). Expressions for the one-dimensional spectra of radial velocity versus frequency and versus radial wave number are presented. Their dependence on the parameters of...

Expressions for the one-dimensional spectra of radial velocity versus frequency and versus radial wave number are presented.
