Research status and recommendations from the Alaska Workshop on gravity waves and turbulence in the middle atmosphere, Fairbanks, Alaska, 18-22 july 1983

Abstract

A small group of atmospheric scientists met recently to discuss gravity wave and turbulence processes in the middle atmosphere. Our objectives were both to review the current theoretical understending and observational capabilities in this field and to suggest additional studies that would futher our knowledge of these processes and their effects on the large-scale circulation of the middle atmosphere. It is hoped that our review and recommendations will be useful in the design of future progrms for studies of middle atmosphere dynamics.
