Scientific paper

The time and spatial evolution of gravity-wave characteristics are analysed using wavelets in vertical profiles of temperature and winds at Tromelin Island (15.53°S, 54.31°E) during the passage of the intense tropical cyclone Hudah in the Southern Ocean Indian Basin in 2000. Inertia-gravity waves were observed in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere with dominant vertical wavelengths of 1.5-3 km, horizontal wavelengths <2000 km and periods of 0.6-1.6 days. Large amounts of gravity-wave energy were detected during landfalls of the tropical cyclone. The distribution of total energy indicates that mesoscale convective structures such as tropical cyclones are important gravity-wave sources in the upper troposphere.
