A turbulent wind layer may radiate internal waves by acting as a stochastic distribution of forces moving along the layer edge; this picture allows one to calculate power spectra for the radiated field directly from a knowledge of the spectrum of the turbulence. Application of this model to the ionosphere leads to calculated Doppler sounder fluctuation spectra similar to types of peaked spectra observed in practice. For a static model of a stratified ionosphere (thermosphere), a simple calculation shows that the frequency of the spectral peaks will be, at all times, measurably lower than the corresponding Vaisala frequency estimated from U.S. Standard Atmosphere parameters.
