Mirages with atmospheric gravity waves.
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. Images calculated by ray tracing show that (1) relatively short waves add a fine structure to the basic static mirage, and (2) long waves prod...
متن کاملStochastic modelling of atmospheric gravity waves
Internal gravity waves have an important effect on the large-scale circulation of the middle atmosphere, which is conditioned by the deposition of momentum due to their breaking. The propagation of gravity waves is influenced by the properties of the background wind. This thesis examines this influence: it uses stochastic techniques to study gravity wave propagation through a randomly fluctuati...
متن کاملData Mining for Atmospheric Gravity Waves (Lee Waves)
Gravity waves can emerge as a result of the perturbation of atmospheric circulatory systems. They encompass periodic, yet geographically stationary, changes in temperature, pressure and vertical wind components. Occurrence of such waves is frequent if strong winds hit high mountains. Secondary effect of such waves may also be encountered as clear...
متن کاملAtmospheric Gravity Waves in the Red Sea: a new hotspot
The region of the Middle East around the Red Sea (between 32°E and 44°E longitude and 12°N and 28°N latitude) is a currently undocumented hotspot for atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs). Satellite imagery shows evidence that this region is prone to relatively high occurrence of AGWs compared to other areas in the world, and reveals the characteristics of these waves. The favorable wave propagation...
متن کاملAtmospheric Gravity Waves and their Effects on the Global Circulation
A fundamental difficulty in modeling global atmospheric circulation is the strong interaction among motions on a wide range of space and time scales. Explicit numerical representation of all the spatial scales that determine the global atmospheric circulation is impractical. An example of such difficulties is the effect of small-scale inertia-gravity waves on the circulation. Inertia-gravity wa...
