Study of atmospheric wave phenomena in the lower troposphere using WP/RASS M.P. Rao Department of Physics Andhra University, Visakhapatnam

Observation of solitary wave at Visakhapatnam

Gravity wave studies using WP/RASS at Pune Weather-related phenomena that can generate waves include: Fronts Squall lines Convective clouds Geostrophic adjustment of jet streams Flow over mountains

Instruments used for monitoring gravity waves In-situ instruments/sensors Aircraft measurements Radar/imaging systems

WP/RASS at Pune Profiles of three wind components with reasonable time and space resolutions Profiles of temperature delineates the stratification
