Overview
- A prize-winning thesis, nominated for Springer Theses by the University of Tokyo
- Reviews fundamental physics and important previous studies on inertia-gravity waves
- Provides detailed descriptions of the behaviors of mesospheric gravity waves in the Antarctic
- Discusses the importance of momentum depositions by large-scale inertia-gravity waves, which may be one of the key components to solving the cold bias problem

About this book
The book first describes the simulation of mesospheric gravity waves using a high-resolution non-hydrostatic atmospheric model with a high model top. The accuracy of the numerical results was confirmed by the first Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere/Incoherent Scattering (MST/IS) radar observation in the Antarctic.
It also depicts the origins and propagation processes of mesospheric gravity waves on the basis of the results of the high-resolution numerical model. The behaviors of mesospheric gravity waves can be clearly explained using both fundamental and cutting-edge theories of fluid dynamics
