## Abstract During a routine instrumentation flight check in the lower stratosphere periodic variations of temperature and winds were observed. It is deduced that these variations are gravity waves which appear to be associated with a narrow frontal zone separating regions with different potential
The spectral properties of Stokes waves are shown in this paper by theoretical and numerical methods. This is done by expressing wave profiles and velocities of water particles as nonlinear combinations of the first order component of wave profiles. Under the assumption of the first order wave profi
## Abstract Gravityβwaveβinduced temperature fluctuations predicted by a mountainβwave parametrization scheme are compared with observed stratospheric temperature fluctuations from the HighβResolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) instrument. The focus of the study is on the southern Andes region
