TLDR
In this paper, the authors provide an introduction to the theory of propagation and the dynamics of mesoscale atmospheric masses and wave propagation in the field of radiophysics, as well as their role in the generation of clear air turbulence (CAT).Abstract:
Development in Atmospheric Science, 2
In recent years 'here has been increased
interest in mesoscale atmospheric waves as
newly developed atmospheric probes such as
radars and acoustic echo sounders have
made it possible to study these waves in
great detail. Numerous observations reported
in a rapidly expending literature on the
subject have demonstrated that these waves
are more than mere curiosities; in fact, they
can play an essential role in the generation of
some kinds of clear air turbulence (CAT), .
thus Creating a hazard to commercial aircraft;,
and they may be very important to the very
dynamics of the larger-scale atmospheric
circulation, This timely book provides the
interested meteorologist, radiophysicist. and
graduate student with a self-contained
introduction to the theory of propagation and
the dynamics of mesoscale atmospheric
waves.read more

Multisensor Observation of an Atmospheric Undular Bore
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed multisensor observation of an undular bore is presented, which includes rawinsonde, satellite, two Doppler radars, and a tall instrumented tower.

On the detection and attribution of gravity waves generated by the 20 March 2015 solar eclipse.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the complex synoptic weather conditions over the UK at the time of this particular eclipse helped to mask any eclipse-driven gravity waves.

Airglow imager observations of atmospheric gravity waves at Alice Springs and Adelaide, Australia during the Darwin Area Wave Experiment (DAWEX) : Darwin Area Wave Experiment (DAWEX)
James H. Hecht,S. Kovalam,Peter T. May,G. Mills,Robert A. Vincent,Richard L. Walterscheid,J. Woithe +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that wave propagation from northern Australia is selective, and ducted waves from this region may not be the primary source of waves over Adelaide when convection is occurring over central Australia.

Model simulation of gravity waves triggered by a density current
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with fine horizontal resolution (1 km), testing the model capabilities to simulate the internal gravity waves (IGWs) generated at the top of a drainage flow during the SABLES2006 field campaign, and their origin through mesoscale meteorological modelling.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to identify and spectrally analyse infrasound signatures in mesopause temperature time series derived from nocturnal GRIPS airglow observations is presented.
