Investigating the role of gravity waves in mesosphere and lower-thermosphere (MLT) inversions at low latitudes by C. Lingerew, U. J. P. Raju

“…<p>The mesosphere and lower-thermosphere (MLT) transitional region, encompassing a height range of 60–100 km, is a distinct and highly turbulent zone within Earth's atmosphere. The region is significant owing to dynamics of atmospheric processes like planetary, tidal, and particularly gravity waves, which contribute to the formation of the mesospheric inversion layer (MIL). …”
