The nonlinear ionospheric response to atmospheric gravity waves is studied in an approximate fashion using a new approach. The concept of nonlinear traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) is outlined, and the nonlinear behavior of atmospheric gravity waves is calculated. A principal result is that harmonics are generated which cause the wave velocity perturbation to deform. The ionospheric response is investigated by solving the continuity equation for ionization in the F-region. The distortion of the TIDs waveform produced by the nonlinear interactions is depicted. The nonlinearly distorted TIDs show good agreement with various observed ionospheric irregularities produced by atmospheric gravity waves.
