                         traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) that are observed by 
                         ionosondes. It is shown that, rather than directly producing 
                         variations of ionospheric height, a likely mechanism involves 
                         changes in ionization density by gradients in the horizontal 
                         atmospheric gravity wave air motion. These density changes can be 
                         observed as variations of the height of an ionospheric isodensity 
                         surface (the usual way of measuring TIDs). This mechanism 
                         involving enhancement/depletion of ionospheric density requires 
                         quite moderate atmospheric gravity wave air motion speeds, and 
                         works well at almost all latitudes.",
