, 2019 The ocean's interior is filled with waves that can only exist because the ocean is vertically stratified in temperature and salinity. Like waves at the ocean surface, internal waves are restored by gravity. These internal gravity waves are generated by wind, tides, and low-frequency flows.

Statistics of surface gravity wave turbulence in the space and time domains [PDF]
, 2010 We present experimental results on simultaneous space–time measurements for the gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We compare these results with predictions of the weak turbulence theory (WTT) based on random waves, as well as with ...

Long-term MST radar observations of vertical wave number spectra of gravity waves in the tropical troposphere over Gadanki (13.5° N, 79.2° E): comparison with model spectra [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The potential utility of Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) radar measurements of zonal, meridional and vertical winds for divulging the gravity wave vertical wave number spectra is discussed. The data collected during the years 1995–2004

The Gravity of Light-Waves [PDF]
Universe, 2018 Light waves carry along their own gravitational field; for simple plain electromagnetic waves, the gravitational field takes the form of a p p -wave. I present the corresponding exact solution of the Einstein–Maxwell equations and discuss the dynamics of classical particles and quantum fields in this gravitational and electromagnetic background.

Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 We previously considered various aspects of gravity wave penetration and effects at mesospheric and thermospheric altitudes, including propagation, viscous effects on wave structure, characteristics, and damping, local body forcing, responses to solar

Climatology, long-term variability and trend of resolved gravity wave drag in the stratosphere revealed by ERA5 [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsInternal gravity waves have well-known importance for atmospheric dynamics, transport and coupling between atmospheric layers, and their parameterized forcing affects the circulation in climate models, especially in the stratosphere.

Response of Ozone to a Gravity Wave Process in the UTLS Region Over the Tibetan Plateau
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 In this paper, ERA5 reanalysis data from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model are used to compare and simulate a topographic gravity wave event that occurred over the ...

Satellite observations of middle atmosphere gravity wave absolute momentum flux and of its vertical gradient during recent stratospheric warmings [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are circulation anomalies in the polar region during winter. They mostly occur in the Northern Hemisphere and affect also surface weather and climate.
