According to experts, these invisible waves are a disorder in the lower atmosphere of the Earth.

The invisible wave layer on Earth

A group of researchers from the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) recently published a video that captures images of invisible "gravity waves" across the planet. In fact, these invisible gravity waves are the disorder in the low atmosphere of the Earth.

Scientist Hanli Liu, who led the study, said: "We have never seen a global picture of gravitational waves in the upper atmosphere and doubt about their importance. But now, We were able to capture and admire the images of the waves of the entire atmosphere ".

NCAR experts have relied on climate models on Earth and analyzed them. They created two versions, a standard version of the model with blurred images of phenomena that took place on a scale of less than 2,000km . The second version provided a clearer image when done with a scale of about 200km.

The high-intensity computational energies of the Yellowstone system under NCAR are supercomputers and can run at high resolutions.

In a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, Liu and colleagues demonstrated the emergence of gravity waves created by a tropical storm in eastern Australia and gradually increased. This model shows the stealth wave phenomenon across the entire Pacific region - at an altitude of 100km above the Earth's surface.

According to experts, the air disorders can be dangerous for satellites, GPS navigation systems, TV broadcasting columns . Electromagnetic frequencies - the upper layer of the atmosphere are also affected by weather disturbances in space, from elements deep in the Earth's heart.

Earth-born disturbances can make it difficult for scientists when the activity of the solar storm is becoming stronger. " When gravity waves oscillate with the ionosphere, they can be the source of instability," said Liu . With these findings, experts will have a more complete picture of the process in the ionosphere.
