| Abstract | Geophysical gravity waves are a ubiquitous phenomenon in Earth’s atmosphere and ocean, made possible by the interaction of gravity with a stratified, or layered fluid. They are excited in the atmosphere when winds flow over mountains, by thunderstorms and other strong convective systems, and when winter storms intensify. Gravity waves play an important role in the momentum and energy balance of the atmosphere, with direct impacts on surface weather and climate through their effect on the variabi |
