abstract = "We have ray-traced 15 medium-scale gravity waves (MSGWs) observed
at Boa Vista (2.8°N; 60.7°S, dip angle 21.7°) during the Conjugate
Point Experiment (COPEX). Raytracing database have been composed
by wind from the TIE-CGM and HWM-93 models, and temperature
profiles from the TIMED/SABER measurements, NRLMSISE-00 and
TIE-GCM models. Doppler up-shifted MSGWs in the MLT region reached
higher altitudes and larger amplitude than un-shifted waves in the
thermosphere-ionosphere. Most MSGWs propagated upwards up to 140
km of altitude and seem to be unlikely candidate to trigger
equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) at the F layer bottom side.
However, five of them propagated up to the altitude close to the F
layer bottom side, where they could seed EPBs directly.",
