Using a Mesosphere Stratosphere Troposphere (MST) radar, operating at 53 MHz at Gadanki (13.5°N, 79.2°E), India, the present study reports on the temporal and spatial characteristics of inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) generated from four tropical cyclones that formed over the Bay of Bengal. IGWs are observed with intrinsic frequencies, vertical and horizontal wavelengths in the ranges of 1.2f-3.0f, 2.5-5, and 300-1600 km, respectively, where f is the Coriolis frequency at the Gadanki site. It is found that both the convective and geostrophic adjustment processes in the troposphere play a major role in the generation of IGWs. Also it is found that the horizontal propagation direction of IGWs is aligned along the motion of convective rain bands.
