Mesopause airglow disturbances driven by nonlinear infrasonic acoustic waves generated by large earthquakes

Published in JGR Space Physics, 2019

In this study, we report the results of numerical simulations of ∼80–90-km altitude airglow disturbances driven by strong acoustic waves excited during a hypothetical nighttime equivalent of the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake (magnitude 9.1).
