Abstract
The propagation of internal gravity waves in the upper atmosphere can be influenced by the presence of neutral winds. Previous studies have considered the effects of the horizontal wind, but the smaller vertical wind component has generally been neglected. The influence of the vertical wind is investigated by means of ray tracing for a range of vertical wind shears. The effect is found to be small for long wavelengths (~500 km). For shorter wavelengths (<300 km) even a small vertical wind component has a significant influence on the propagation characteristics of the gravity wave.
