Description: The determination of horizontal and vertical wavelengths of gravity waves obviously relies on measurement of wave parameters in horizontal and vertical directions. A very suitable parameter, measured fairly easily with MST radars, is the fluid velocity. Average velocities and superimposed turbulent fluctuations are much larger in the horizontal than in the vertical direction. Vertical and horizontal fluid velocities due to wave-like events are mostly about equal in magnitude. Vertical fluid velocities due to waves therefore can be more reliably detected than horizontal velocities. Estimates of gravity wave events using MST radar data are calculated and results are indicated.
