 Introduction  What are gravity waves?  How are they similar/dissimilar to surface waves?  Why do we care about them?  Analysis/Results  Non-linear effects and wave breaking.  Numerical Simulations.  Conclusions

Density Potential Temperature

 Like ocean waves, gravity waves exchange little or no energy or momentum with the background as they propagate.  This means that the momentum flux is constant along the trajectory, i.e.  Since decreases with altitude, must increase like

 Gravity waves generated near the surface can propagate to much higher levels in the atmosphere.  Breaking releases stored momentum and energy and leads to turbulent mixing and to altered mean winds.  High-Resolution numerical simulation can be used to better understand the nature of GW instability and to generate databases from which GW parameterizations can be formed.
