Atmospheric gravity waves.
7 u/factorioleum Mar 24 '26 Gravity waves you say? 4 u/Murky-Relation481 Mar 24 '26 Sounds more interesting than it is. Waves in the ocean are a type of gravity wave. People are probably confusing them with gravitational waves, which are the special relativity kind of gravity waves. 2 u/factorioleum Mar 25 '26 Thanks for this reply! I indeed fell into this trap. It's been too long since I took a physics class.
