摘要
A simple method has been proposed to determine acoustic-gravity wave (AGW) characteristics at lower ionosphere (mesosphere) heights by measuring VLF radio signal amplitudes. For relatively short radio paths (less than 1500 km long) we obtained the simple relations for estimation of AGW neutral density fluctuation and for vertical displacement of an elementary volume of atmospheric gas. The proposed method has been verified by using VLF radio wave amplitude measurements on several radio paths. AGW properties based on these measurements are approximately calculated at heights of radio signal reflection. The relative fluctuation of 3%-6% of neutral particle concentration and elementary volume displacement of 0.6-1.2 km have been obtained. These results are in good agreement with AGW theory in the Earth atmosphere.
