Short summary

Here the investigation of gravity wave (GW) properties in the low ionosphere using very low frequency (VLF) radio signals is presented. The VLF technique is a powerful tool to obtain the wave period and duration of GW events in the low ionosphere. It can be used independent of sky conditions, during daytime and year-round, which is an advantage in comparison with airglow all-sky imagers.
