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

17
Instruments used for monitoring gravity waves

• In-situ instruments/sensors
• Aircraft measurements
• Radar/imaging systems

18
WP/RASS at Pune

• Profiles of three wind components with reasonable
  time and space resolutions
• Profiles of temperature delineates the
  stratification
