Notes. λx, vp, and τ denote the horizontal wavelength, phase speed, and wave period, respectively. Qheating and Qcooling denote the maximum heating rate and minimum cooling rate, respectively. z(Qheating) and z(Qcooling) represent the altitudes at which these extrema occur. ρ0cpQ denotes the corresponding volumetric heating (cooling) rate. δTexo denotes the wave-induced temperature difference at the exobase.
