Abstract

As applied to experimental measurements of the parameters of the neutral component in the Earth’s ionosphere, the propagation of quasi-harmonic pulses of acoustic gravity waves (AGWs) of limited duration in an isothermal atmosphere is analyzed. A criterion for weak distortions of impulse signals during their propagation over long distances is obtained. The reflection and refraction of such pulses by atmospheric layers with a parabolic dependence of the equilibrium temperature in them on height are also considered. It is shown that, under certain conditions, AGW pulses can propagate without distortion over long distances.
