Short summary
The dispersion equation and the reflection coefficient are elegant tools for investigating acoustic–gravity waves (AGWs) in stratified atmospheres. AGWs are used to study the the ionospheric D region–lower thermosphere interaction. This is important because these waves, and especially gravity waves, can produce ionospheric disturbances and an increase in lower thermospheric temperature. The results of this article can be applied to the stratified atmospheres of the planets and the Sun.
