Gravity waves in the mesosphere
Abstract
The simple theory for the effect of gravity wave breaking on eddy diffusion and on mean stress is reviewed. Attempts are made to identify the magnitudes of known mechanisms for generating gravity waves. The relation between observed periods and unobserved horizontal wavenumbers is discussed. Finally the role of group velocity, wave packets and wave inhomogeneity is discussed.
