We research wave-induced spatial & temporal variability of the meso/thermo/ionospheres. Our innovations will usher in the next gen of weather/climate prediction
Images from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder on NASA’s Aqua satellite show dozens of concentric circles, which are fast-moving atmospheric waves.

WAVE partners Corwin Wright and Lars Hoffmann contributed to a Nature paper entitled “Tonga volcano eruption created puzzling ripples in Earth’s atmosphere”. See unprecedented observations of atmospheric waves visible in the aftermath of this impulsive eruption.

When the atmosphere waves, you wave back! Gravity waves being generated by the atmospheric flow over the Presidential Range has resulted in this unique display of clouds this morning.

Wave-induced Atmospheric Variability Enterprise (WAVE) is a new CU-led center examining one oft-overlooked component of our atmosphere - gravity waves. Two scientists working on the WAVE project will be interviewed on the @fiskeplanet’s podcast, A View from Earth, dropping 10/6!!
#DidYouKnow that #HurricaneSam, currently churning over the Atlantic, is the strongest storm of the 2021 Atlantic #hurricane season thus far?
Learn more about #Sam, and why it's unusual in this week's #EarthFromOrbit:

Polar Mesospheric/Noctilucent Clouds form every summer in the Arctic region & are mostly observed by high-latitude sky-watchers after dusk & before dawn. Catch em' while U can though, the season in the N. Hemisphere is wrapping up. #wavesciencecenter#noctilucentclouds#PMCseason
The smoke is so thick you can see gravity waves on visible satellite this evening. These gravity waves are produced by strong winds moving over the mountains and typically show up on different satellite channels like water vapor. #COwx
Jeff Dai captured a magnificent fisheye view of banded airglow over the Tibetan Plateau in 2014. Capture your own 📷of airglow! It’s a global phenomena & optimal locations are at higher altitudes w/ minimal light pollution. We’d ❤️ to 👀 your photos!
