Characterization of thermospheric disturbances and gravity waves as measured by multiple instruments

Gravity waves and other thermospheric disturbances can be best described when viewed by multiple instruments. An individual measurement may provide motion in one direction, whereas two or more observations build a more complete picture in addition to bolstering the validity of having seen an event. This poster focuses on the combination of ground-based and satellite observations to find and characterize disturbances within Earth’s thermosphere.
