Atmospheric Gravity Waves

On September 26, NASA’s Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) captured atmospheric gravity waves caused by Hurricane Helene’s powerful landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast. These waves, observed as concentric ripples extending from Florida, highlight NASA’s efforts to understand how terrestrial weather can impact space weather and disrupt commu...

Atmospheric gravity waves can be created by hurricanes, large thunderstorms, wind bursts, tornadoes and even tsunamis.

As per NASA, Airglow is when atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere, excited by sunlight, emit light in order to shed their excess energy.

A jet stream speeding through the atmosphere high above Jupiter's equator changes its course almost on a schedule due to gravity waves, NASA scientists say.
