Auteur : World Meteorological Organization,Définition
These waves are generated at lower altitudes due to tropospheric effects, such as the passage of weather fronts and intense pressure regions.
Note :
The waves propagate upwards and grow in amplitude, until they reach a critical level near the mesopause where they break, depositing energy and momentum.
