R. Michael Jones

He performed research at the U.S. Department of Commerce from 1961 through 1993, first for the National Bureau of Standards and later for NOAA. He is now with CIRES (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences) of the University of Colorado.

His fields of research have covered ionospheric radio wave propagation, diffraction, internal wave dynamics, acoustic-gravity wave propagation in the ocean and atmosphere, ocean acoustic tomography, and limits of predictability in fluids. More details are in the vita.

Here are some selected publications and publication data from my CU Experts Profile. Here is a complete publications list. Here are journal publications, papers published in conference proceedings, book chapters, papers presented at conferences, and reports or preprints.

1. Wave propagation: I calculate the propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in the atmosphere.
   • We recently wrote a paper about atmospheric gravity wave ray tracing, which has been published in JASTP.

     The final published version is at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364682618303274.
     A copy of that paper is at: http://cires.colorado.edu/~mjones/raytracing/Publish/GravityWavesJASTP/1-s2.0-S1364682618303274-main.pdf.
     Anyone can get a free download of the pdf file for the paper (until 25 October 2018) at: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1XgU~4sIlkiVCg.

   • Recently, I derived the dispersion relation for magneto-acoustic-gravity waves.

     A reprint of the paper I and my colleagues have published in JASTP is at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364682616303406 .
     A copy of that paper is at: http://cires.colorado.edu/~mjones/raytracing/Publish/MagnetoAcousticGravityWaveFigures/1-s2.0-S1364682616303406-main.pdf .
     We hope to eventually use that dispersion relation to make a dispersion-relation model for our ray tracing program http://cires.colorado.edu/~mjones/raytracing .

   • At present, I am making wave propagation calculations of gravity waves to help interpret some of the measurements being made by
     Xinzhao Chu and her group http://cires.colorado.edu/~mjones/raytracing/antarctica/grl28783.pdf .
