Atmospheric Waves

open access: yes, 2017
This chapter deals with the underlying mathematics of atmospheric waves. Gravity waves occur between any stable layers of fluids that differ in density. When the fluid boundary is disturbed, buoyancy forces try to restore the equilibrium.

The prospect of studying atmospheric gravity waves with balloon lidars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Long duration balloons are ideal platforms to study atmospheric gravity waves with remote sensing Rayleigh lidar instruments. Using a laser beam and receiving telescope, atmospheric density and temperature are sounded throughout the stratosphere and ...

Atmospheric Layers in Response to the Propagation of Gravity Waves under Nonisothermal, Wind-shear, and Dissipative Conditions

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
We study the atmospheric structure in response to the propagation of gravity waves under nonisothermal (nonzero vertical temperature gradient), wind-shear (nonzero vertical zonal/meridional wind speed gradients), and dissipative (nonzero molecular ...

Successfully Simulating Atmospheric Gravity Waves

open access: yesEos, 2020
These waves are key to moving energy from the troposphere to the thermosphere, but until now they haven’t been well described at high altitudes in computer models.

Stratospheric and tropospheric seasonality and its implications for observation requirements in numerical weather prediction

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Daily time series of zonal‐mean zonal wind (m·s−1) at 10 hPa and 60° N from 1950 to 2021 from the ERA5 reanalysis. This shows huge variability in some seasons and very little in others. We provide evidence that high‐level observations, radiosonde and satellite, are more important during the extended winter season with its very large variability ...

A study on the sea level variations and the 'Milghuba' phenomenon in the coastal waters of the Maltese Islands

open access: yes, 1999
The phenomenology, generation and associated dynamics of short period seiche oscillations observed along the northern coast of the Maltese Islands are studied from a set of densely sampled, long term hydro-meteorological observations made at a permanent ...

Mirages with atmospheric gravity waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The temperature inversions that produce superior mirages are capable of supporting gravity (buoyancy) waves of very low frequency and long wavelength. This paper describes the optics of single mode gravity waves that propagate in a four-layer atmosphere.

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

A review of atmospheric gravity waves and travelling ionospheric disturbances: 1982-1995

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae
Recent investigations of atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) and travelling ionospheric disturbances (TID) in the Earth's thermosphere and ionosphere are reviewed.

Observational study of the atmospheric gravity waves in the lower solar atmosphere

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT The solar chromosphere exhibits a variety of waves originating from the photosphere and deeper layers, causing oscillations at different heights with distinct frequencies. This study identifies and analyse atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) and acoustic waves at various height pairs within the solar atmosphere utilizing H$\alpha$,
