Abstract
Using a Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere (MST) radar, operating at 53 MHz at Gadanki (13.5°N, 79.2°E), India, the present study reports on the temporal and spatial characteristics of inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) generated from four tropical cyclones that formed over the Bay of Bengal. IGWs are observed with intrinsic frequencies, vertical and horizontal wavelengths in the ranges of 1.2 f–3.0 f, 2.5–5, and 300–1600 km, respectively, where f is the Coriolis frequency at the Gadanki site. It is found that both the convective and geostrophic adjustment processes in the troposphere play a major role in the generation of IGWs. Also it is found that the horizontal propagation direction of IGWs is aligned along the motion of convective rain bands.
