Stratospheric Gravity Waves

Stratospheric Gravity Waves is a type of atmospheric wave characterized by oscillations in the stratified airflow of the stratosphere, where buoyancy acts as the restoring force, distinguishing it from other wave classes by its vertical propagation and generation mechanisms involving orographic and non-orographic forcing.
