Abstract

The problem of propagation and linear transformation of atmospheric and temperature waves in an isothermal atmosphere with stratified heat exchange has been solved analytically. The cases are discussed where temperature inhomogeneities produced by the waves are either optically thin or optically thick. Formulae have been derived for the absorption, reflection, and transformation of waves when they are transformed from adiabatic into isothermal. The properties of temperature waves are considered. The theory of non-adiabatic atmospheric waves is applied to an analysis of oscillations in a quiet solar atmosphere.
