"As is often noted, 'everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it.' Not Bill Hooke! His thoughtful analysis of actions that we need to take to reduce the impacts of extreme weather is a must-read for everyone with an interest in the weather and climate." --Franklin W. Nutter, president, Reinsurance Association of America.

Theoretical and observational results are used to suggest that vertical neutral-gas motions are generally important in applications of the magnetoshear theory of sporadic E, as has been recently demonstrated in a particular instance by M. A. MacLeod. It is argued that much of the vertical neutral-gas motion present at these heights must be of gravity-wave origin and shown that gravity-wave-associated vertical motions of the neutral gas should support (oppose) the action of wave-associated horizontal motions in producing ion convergence when the wave is propagating toward the east (toward the west). It is also argued that the full vector ion velocity, rather than only its vertical component, must be used in applications of the magnetoshear theory.
