Introduction:
Internal Gravity Waves (Gws) Represent An Important Dynamical Mechanism That Links Atmospheric
Layers In All Stably Stratified Planetary Atmospheres.
We Present Recent Advances In Understanding Gws
And Their Effects During Global Dust Storms. The Results
Include Satellite Observations And Global Modeling
Performed At Max Planck Institute In Close Cooperation With Colleagues At Other International Institutions.
Gravity Waves In The Lower Atmosphere:
Using Temperature Profiles Retrieved From Mcs
Observations, Heavens Et Al (2020, 2022) Discovered
A Reduction (By A Factor 2, In Average) Of Gw Activity
In The Lower Atmosphere (Up To 30-40 Km) During The
