Observation of a large nighttime gravity wave at Arecibo

The observation of a large nighttime gravity wave at Arecibo is reported, and velocity and temperature perturbations to the neutral atmosphere are inferred. An increase in the velocity perturbation with height is observed. An anomalous temperature increase occurred when the gravity wave encountered the meridional wind reversal that normally occurs after midnight at low latitudes.
