Gravity wave studies using WP/RASS at Pune • Weather-related phenomena that can generate waves include: • Fronts • Squall lines • Convective clouds • Geostrophic adjustment of jet streams • Flow over mountains
Instruments used for monitoring gravity waves • In-situ instruments/sensors • Aircraft measurements • Radar/imaging systems
WP/RASS at Pune • Profiles of three wind components with reasonable time and space resolutions • Profiles of temperature delineates the stratification
