This study presents multi‐instrument observations of persistent large‐scale traveling ionosphere/atmospheric disturbances (LSTIDs/LSTADs) observed during moderately increased auroral electrojet activity and a sudden stratospheric warming in the polar winter hemisphere. The Global Ultraviolet Imager (GUVI), Gravity field and steady‐state Ocean Circulation Explorer, Scanning Doppler Imaging Fabry–Perot Interferometers, and the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar are used to demonstrate the presence of LSTIDs/LSTADs between 19 UT and 5 UT on 18–19 January 2013 over the Alaska region down to lower midlatitudes. This study showcases the first use of GUVI for the study of LSTADs. These novel GUVI observations demonstrate the potential for the GUVI far ultraviolet emissions to be used for global‐scale studies of waves and atmospheric disturbances in the thermosphere, a region lacking in long‐term global measurements. These observations typify changes in the radiance from around 140 to 180 km, opening a new window into the behavior of the thermosphere. For the first time, Global Ultraviolet Imager observations of large‐scale traveling ionosphere disturbances (LSTIDs) in far ultraviolet emissions are presented and validated Persistent LSTID/large‐scale traveling atmospheric disturbances (LSTADs) are observed over several hours coinciding with moderate geomagnetic disturbances and a major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) Along‐track horizontal wavelengths of the atmospheric disturbances are ∼2,000–2,500 km and periods are ∼2–2.5 hr
