Scientific paper

Recently, an article by Oliver et. al (1994) described studies of gravity waves at ionospheric heights based on observations with the middle and upper atmosphere (MU) radar. That facility is extremely capable of promises to greatly enhance the study of travelling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) associated with acoustic-gravity waves (AGWs) in the thermosphere. However, the strategy adopted in the particular campaign described, and in the data reduction, is susceptible to problems that cast doubt on their results pertaining to TID trace velocities and to TID phase-front tilt. Suggestions for avoiding such problems in the future are made.
