Scientific paper

Local variation of atmospheric heating which might occur in inhomogeneities of various constituents such as ozone or molecular oxygen may generate gravity waves. These perturbation are induced by the terminator crossing constituent inhomogeneities of short lifetime. The quasi-point heating model developed here shows that the largest amplitude must appear vertically above the source, where the perturbation frequency is close to the Vaisala-Brunt frequency. Numerical calculations not band-limited in the frequency suggest several characteristics of the perturbation.
