The complex structure inherent to frequently observed atmospheric gravity wave (GW) gatherings constitutes a challenge that remains difficult to address (e.g.,
Gravity waves (GWs) and the large-scale planetary waves and tides are the main drivers for the general circulation of the middle atmosphere. The primary sources of GW are topography, convection, fronts, instabilities, and spontaneous adjustment (e.g., Fritts & Alexander, 2003). GW constitute an important dynamical coupling mechanism between different regions and layers of the atmosphere by redistributing energy and momentum over

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
