Mysterious gravitational waves in the atmosphere

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) studies mysterious gravitational waves, which occur in the Earth's atmosphere.

In fluid dynamics, gravity waves are waves generated in fluid or contiguous environments between two environments, due to the effects of gravitational force or Archimedes repulsion.

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) studies mysterious gravitational waves , which occur in the Earth's atmosphere. The secret discovery of this phenomenon in the upper layers of the atmosphere can help us understand the processes that determine climate conditions across the planet.

Scientists have prepared special balloons, on which 7 cameras record large resolution images, measuring devices, 32 TB hard disks, etc. In 5 consecutive days, the devices Observe the upper atmosphere above an altitude of nearly 80km, above the area between Scandinavia and Canada.

Thanks to the silver clouds, we can observe the formation and dispersion of gravitational waves in the atmosphere.

During the observation, the experts made 6 million photos and collected 120 TB of valuable data. The main goal of observation is silver clouds . They appear in the middle layer on the polar regions mainly in June and July.

With the naked eye, we don't see gravitational waves in the atmosphere. However, thanks to the silver clouds, we can observe the formation and dispersion of gravitational waves in the atmosphere. So far, we can see them from the ground or from an airplane, ie in 2-dimensional (2D) frames. However, now, thanks to airships and cameras, scientists can observe the vertical section of gravitational waves in a three-dimensional shape.

The gravitational waves in the atmosphere carry energy from the lower parts of the atmosphere and cause an airflow disorder . NASA scientists focus on high-gravity waves (upper atmosphere); However, hydro-meteorologists know more about waves near the ground.

Gravitational waves appear, such as on the sea - where there are usually no obstacles, convection currents move vertically. However, when encountering volcanic islands (such as the Pacific Ocean), gravitational waves begin to deform.

Such obstacles lead to the formation of so-called atmospheric gravitational waves . The clouds meet the mountain, begin to rise on the windward side, then descend on the windy side. Gravitational waves form, extending over distances of hundreds or thousands of kilometers, until the frequency of waves decreases.

The phenomenon is comparable to throwing a stone at the surface of a quiet lake. At that time, there were waves of propaganda from where the stone touched the water. In the case of the Earth's atmosphere, where winds are very strong, atmospheric gravitational waves often propagate in one direction, forming shaped arrows. Then they are called wave clouds.
