Wave-guide propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in an isothermal layer model of the stratosphere

It is suggested that the stratosphere may-act as a wave-guide for certain types of acoustic-gravity waves. An isothermal layer model is proposed which introduces gravity terms into the equations governing wave propagation. An expression for the phase change on reflection at a boundary of the layer i...
