Next on the agenda, if anyone is curious about this topic, are Gravity Waves (not to be confused with gravitational waves). These are a type of buoyancy wave where the restoring force—gravity—gives them their name. We’ll also explore infrasound, acoustic-gravity waves, and atmospheric coupling, diving into how these subtle yet powerful forces interact across different layers of the atmosphere.
From there, we’ll shift gears to how these gravity waves impact global wind pattern shifts, seasonal shifts, even Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) events through atmospheric coupling, flow deflection, and wave breaking.
Finally, we’ll tackle cloud formation—the conditions they need to form, their types, and their contributions to weather systems. Special attention will go to the true rainmakers: Nimbostratus clouds, which are often unsung heroes of prolonged and steady rainfall.
Each topic connects to the others in fascinating ways, and I’m looking forward to discussing how they all fit into the bigger picture of atmospheric science. If this sounds interesting to you, let’s dive in! Also don't just take my word for it, everything thus far can be found on google scholar in a peer reviewed paper.
But I do have one thing to add, and anyone can replicate it using the climateengine, many papers called for an analysis with a larger temporal and spatial resolution, so I did it in GIS, and that's ultimately what I'm here to share.
