Abstract This paper reviews the subject of the dissipation of internal gravity waves in the thermosphere and shows how this is related to propagation. Differences of dissipation and heating rates in quiet and disturbed atmospheres are discussed, and the ranges of waves for different source heights in these atmospheres are calculated. Despite heavy damping of the waves, they may explain T.I.D.'s and related airglow observations in middle and low latitudes.
