Gravity waves are oscillations in the atmosphere that are caused by the force of gravity and can be measured using radar. They can form patterns, such as mountain waves, and are also associated with jet streams. AI generated definition based on: Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmenta...
A depth averaged equation is derived via variational principle to study the effect of varying bottom on membrane-coupled gravity waves caused by a floating membrane with spatially varying material properties. Variation of gradients for bottom topography, membrane tension and membrane mass density is assu...
The generation of inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) in association with jets and fronts in the upper troposphere remains a complex and elusive problem. There is ample evidence from observational and numerical studies that upper-tropospheric jets and fronts are significant source regions of IGWs, but ...
How The LIGO Observatory Detects Gravitational Waves March 24, 2021byLewin Day43 Comments Gravity is one of the more obvious forces in the universe, generally regarded as easily noticeable by the way apples fall from trees. However, the underlying mechanisms behind gravity are inordinately complex,...
frictional freezing; (D) laminated and cross-laminated structures from traction and suspension from very low-density flows, which can be created by overbanking flows (and others in channel) that interact with other bottom currents (* large variability here from sediment waves to contour currents)....
These sandbars are evenly spaced and are about half the wavelength of certain ocean surface waves. Bragg's reflection on these beaches has a major impact on the creation and evolution of these parallel sandbar patches and the physical response of the onshore wave structure to incoming waves ...
However, this in itself is not deleterious to the thesis put forth by Bejan. Hence, this represents an unexpected use of the simple garden-hose problem towards modelling such a complex subject as turbulence! Even more unexpected is the ‘application’ to an even more rarefied subject: solar ...
Infragravity waves are surface gravity waves in the ocean with periods longer than approximately 30 s. Infragravity waves propagate transoceanic distances and, because of their long wavelengths, provide a mechanism for coupling wave processes in the ocean, atmosphere, and the solid Earth. Here, we ...
Gravity waves are primarily generated in the lower atmosphere, and can reach thermospheric heights in the course of their propagation. This paper reviews the recent progress in understanding the role of gravity waves in vertical coupling during sudden st
