During the period November 21 through December 12, 1963, large traveling-ionospheric-disturbances (TIDs) were observed on ground-scatter records obtained with the ITSA/ESSA high-resolution azimuth-scan backscatter system at a frequency of 17.6 MHz. Simultaneous auroral zone data from College, Alaska, indicate that over half of the TIDs observed from Boulder traveling toward the southeast were preceded by auroral zone disturbances. Horizontal propagation velocities deduced from the TID observations are consistent with predicted velocities for imperfectly ducted internal gravity waves at F-region heights. It is suggested that auroral zone perturbations are a possible generating mechanism for atmospheric gravity waves which then propagate in a southeasterly direction over great circle paths exceeding 5000 km and are manifested as large TIDs observed by the Boulder scan-backscatter sounder.
