Abstract
Exact solutions to the governing equations for atmospheric motion are derived which model nonlinear gravity wave propagation superimposed on atmospheric currents. Solutions are explicitly prescribed in terms of a Lagrangian formulation, which enables a detailed exposition of intricate flow characteristics. It is shown that our solutions are well-suited to modelling two distinct forms of mountain waves, namely: trapped lee waves in the Equatorial f-plane, and vertically propagating mountain waves at general latitudes.
