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 s

Hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves propagating on a B-plane through a zonal flow and transverse magnetic field are examined for instability. Such instabilities may be related to same physical phenomena in the atmospheres of the Sun and planets and in the Earth's core. It is found that the onset o
Over-reflection of propagating hydromagnetic planetary-gravity waves incident on the current sheets of the helmet streamers and magnetic sectors of the solar corona is investigated. It is shown that over-reflection arises only if the wavenumbers, or the energy fluxes per unit mass, perpendicular to
