Waves in the atmosphere : atmospheric infrasound and gravity waves : their generation and propagation

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.
