Abstract
The three-dimensional structure and dynamics of a strong, tropospheric gravity wave event continuously observed from both satellite and surface facilities reveal the subsynoptic character of this 'wave of depression', suggesting that the gravity wave originated in the upper troposphere near a jet streak, and, being quasi-hydrostatic, was relatively nondispersive and long lived. Theory is applied in order both to explain and estimate gravity wave properties throughout the troposphere. Further improvements in the descriptions presented may require the development of solitary wave theory for deep depression waves in shear flow.
