Short-period AGWs of the measopause region observed by all-sky imager over Abastumani
Abstract
The short-period (about 5-10 min) atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) were observed in the mesopause region over Abastumani in by the hydroxyl infrared all-sky imager. The specifics of their propagation are given. The importance of these small-scale AGWs for monitoring the wave-like processes in the mesopause and study the lower-upper atmosphere coupling in the Caucasus region caused by orographic effects are also noted.
