THE THEORY AND MEASURED RESULTS FOR THE DISPERSION OF ACOUSTIC GRAVITY WAVES IN LAYERED ATMOSPHERE

The equation of infrasonic wave taking into account the gravitational effect in moving media isderived,with multi-layer atmospheric model.The equations of frequency dispersion are specified bydivergence of velocty,using a multi-layer atmospheric model.The dispersion characteristic ofacoustic-gravity wave is evaluated.Numerical results have shown that both the phase and groupvelocities are different two,the acoustic and gravity-waves.The dispersion of the acoustic velocitiesare more sensitive to wind.Usually the short period group velocity in downwind can differ aslarge as 10% from that in upwind.In some atmospheric model,the gravity-waves velocities areagain divided to several groups,with different dispersion characteristics.The new results of infrasonicdispersion characteristics agree well with the observations from the nuclear explosion.
