  • Not sure that's a Gravity wave, usually they are mesophereic. This looks like turbulence from a t-storm, it's probably caused by shearing of upper level winds, there's some good indications of that because of the mammatus clouds too!

  • hey; what exactly is a gravity wave?

  • a gravity wave is just the technical term for a wave whose restoring force (what makes it oscillate) is gravity. most waves you think of (like on the surface of water) are gravity waves.

  • this is one of the worst attempts to classify something that it's not I've ever seen. Obviously not a gravity wave. It's all sheer in this video!

  • Damn thing's about to land!

    Awesome footage,

    Take Care,

    Love

  • wind shear, not gravity wave.

  • mountains or in general high altitude terrain can also cause gravity waves. so in my opinion this is one

    good shoot btw

  • you're thinking of the einstein gravity waves which are waves that travel through gravity, these are metrological gravity waves which are caused by wind flowing ower mounains, creating waves in the clouds. They just happen to have the same name, got me aswell at first :P

  • in metrology a gravity wave is what occurs when wind blows over a mountrain, or such, and it creates some kind of wave phenomena in the clouds at its trail. At least that's what i've pieced together from utube
