Abstract

Internal waves in an atmospheric jet stream are discussed, using both linear and non-linear theory. In the former case., the wave phase-speeds depend only on the total static stability in the jet stream layer. In the latter case, the temperature profile curvature plays the main role in the behaviour of gravity-type waves.
