โฆ Synopsis
Internal atmospheric hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves propagating through a latitudinally sheared zonal flow and a zonal magnetic field sheared both latitudinally and vertically are studied.
It is shown that the waves possess four critical latitudes. At two of them the waves propagate on one side only with their energy and momentum fluxes differing by an additive factor on the two sides of the critical latitude, whereas at the other two they are capable of propagating on both sides and exhibit the value effect behaviour, with their energy and momentum fluxes attenuated by an exponential factor as they cross the critical latitude.
