Abstract

Abstract

High- resolution horizontal velocity data obtained from five chaff rockets performed during the "DYAN" campaign in the winter of l989 /l99O are used to discuss the consistency of the vertical wavenumber spectrum of the hodrintal velocity with the saturated spectrum of gravity waves and to determine the characteristic vertical scale in the altitude range of 8O-100km.
- Observed spectrum,
- Saturated spectrum,
