Investigating Atmospheric Gravity Waves Using 3-Dimensional Spectral Analysis
Atmospheric gravity waves (GW) are generated from the ground and go into the upper layers of the atmosphere where space begins. These waves have strong effects on the temperature and circulation of the Earth’s atmosphere. The temperature changes caused by these waves are observed through special cam...
