Atmospheric Gravity Waves, from the Surface to the Edge of Space

Session ID#: 156612

Session Description:
Gravity waves are a vital component of the atmospheric system at all heights. Through the transport of energy and momentum, they play a key role in the coupling of different atmospheric layers and regions, as well as interacting with each other, with tides and with the background atmospheric state. This session will bring together researchers from all branches of atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric chemistry and space physics working on gravity waves and related problems, from the tropospheric boundary layer to the ionosphere/thermosphere system. We welcome talks using all techniques, including observations, modelling, and theory.
