Wind profiles have been used from the TIE-GCM and HWM-07 models. Temperature profiles were used from the NRLMSISE-00 and TIE-GCM models, and TIMED/SABER satellite data. Doppler up-shifted MSGWs, at ~87 km of altitude, propagated to higher altitudes into the thermosphereionosphere domain than waves that were un-shifted. Most MSGWs propagated upwards up to ~140 km of altitude and were seen to be unlikely candidates to trigger equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) at the F layer bottom side. However, three of them propagated up to heights close to the F layer bottom side, where it could act in the EPB seeding directly. Moreover, three MSGWs, which propagated equatorward, could act on EPB seeding by field-line-integrated effects. %T Forward ray-tracing for medium-scale gravity waves observed during the COPEX campaign %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress jhasobral@yahoo.com.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K aeronomia, ray tracing, atmospheric gravity waver. %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft24 %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup marciana %@group %@group %@group %@group %@group DAE-CEA-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@e-mailaddress jhasobral@yahoo.com.br %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark B2_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA B1_CIÊNCIAS_BIOLÓGICAS_I B1_ECOLOGIA_E_MEIO_AMBIENTE B1_ENGENHARIAS_IV B1_GEOCIÊNCIAS A2_INTERDISCIPLINAR %F lattes: 6775918052021463 5 PaulinoTVWSMBG:2012:FoRaMe %@issn 1364-6826 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2012/11.28.15.28.17 %@affiliation %@affiliation %@affiliation %@affiliation %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics %P 117-123 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2012/11.28.15.28 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2012 %V 90-91 %@doi 10.1016/j.jastp.2012.08.006 %O Setores de Atividade: Pesquisa e desenvolvimento científico. %O Informações Adicionais: Acceptance letter: %O %O %O %O -------- Original Message -------- %O Subject: ATP2988R1, Editor decision, accepted %O Date: 10 Aug 2012 06:10:53 +0100 %O From: J.

Then you will receive further notice. %O %O Thank you for considering our journal for the publication of your research. %O %O Kind regards, %O For the Editor, %O %O Kreeti Saravanan, Journal Manager %O Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics %O %O %O Reviewer #3: The authors have well revised the previously submitted manuscript. This paper is %O almost ready for publication. However, please consider the following minor comments %O before its publication. %O %O p5-6 %O In equation (1) and (2), the authors use Pr (Prandtl number). %O Please show the value used in the calculations. %O This may be important for describing the feature of turbulence %O in the MLT region. %O %O p9 line 3 %O "(HWM-07 Drob et al)" %O The publication year should be included. In the reference list, %O I cannot find out the year. %O %O p9 line 11 %O "SABER temperature profile" -->"SABER temperature profiles" %O %O p12 line 8 %O It seems to be better to add Hedin et al.
