摘要: Abstract Atmospheric gravity waves exhibit singular properties at levels where the ambient wind Doppler-shifts their frequency to zero. Some possible consequences are indicated, including production of turbulence, its termination in region turbopause, kinked profiles, and apparent transport by ionization irregularities induced waves.
