                         are extracted from 11 years sodium lidar measurements made at a 
                         southern low-latitude location. The wave occurrence frequencies, 
                         wave parameter distributions, and wave parameter relationships are 
                         given and compared with other lidar observations. The different 
                         lidar derived results can be attributed to different atmospheric 
                         parameters. The characteristics of these two groups of gravity 
                         waves are also compared, as well as that predicted by diffusive 
                         filtering theory, and we find the gravity wave relationships 
                         derived from our method are in better agreement with diffusive 
                         filtering theory predictions.",
