Seasonal variations in the formation of internal gravity waves at a coastal site

Journal Article · · J. Appl. Meteorol.; (United States)
Atmospheric internal gravity waves that formed over a coastal and an inland site were identified from analog records of wind speed and direction. Internal gravity waves occurred at all hours at the coastal site by only during nights inland. More waves formed during the spring and summer at the coastal site as compared to other seasons. The frequency distribution of internal gravity waves showed no preference in seasons.
