Gravity wave amplitudes and momentum fluxes inferred from OH airglow intensities and meteor radar winds during SpreadFEx
We show in this report the momentum flux content input in the mesosphere due to relatively fast and small scale gravity waves (GWs) observed through OH airglow images. The acquisition of OH NIR images was carried out in Brazil at Brasilia (14.8° S, 47.6° W) and Cariri (7.4&de...
