Abstract
The atmosphere has a wave nature with various types of wave motions (Lin 2007; Hoskins and James 2014). It represents an environment which allows the formation and maintenance of different waves. Let’s first look briefly at the wave physical concept before continuing with the description and derivation of atmospheric waves.
