Resonance waves over thermals
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008536
Atmospheric gravity waves that form when stable air flows over a thermal plume, creating oscillations in the air column. These waves can propagate vertically and horizontally, influencing cloud formation and local wind patterns. Their characteristics depend on the thermal's strength and the atmospheric stability profile.
