Abstract

The influence of internal gravity waves on the spatial coherence and temporal variability of the atmospheric pressure, wind velocity, and gas constituents near Moscow and Beijing is studied in the mesoscale range of periods: from a few tens of seconds to several hours. The results of simultaneous measurements of variations in the atmospheric pressure (using a network of spaced microbarographs), wind velocity at different heights of the atmospheric boundary layer, and gas constituents are given for each city. The wave structures are filtered using a coherence analysis of the atmospheric pressure variations at different measurement sites. The dominant periods and the coherences, phase speeds, and horizontal scales of variations corresponding to these periods are estimated. The general mechanism of the influence of wave structures on meteorological fields and gas constituents is discussed, which is independent of the measurement site and the specificity of meteorological conditions.
