Stably stratified fluids, such as stellar and planetary atmospheres, can support and propagate gravity waves. On Earth these waves, which can transport energy and momentum over large distances and can trigger convection, contribute to the formation of our weather and global climate. Gravity waves also play a pivotal role in planetary sciences (e.g. Young et al. 1997) and modern stellar physics (Charbonnel & Talon 2007). They have also been proposed as an agent for the heating of stellar atmospheres and coronae (Mihalas & Toomre 1981), the exact mechanism behind which is one of the outstanding puzzles in solar
