Scientific paper

The paper examines the 'potential' well treatment for atmospheric gravity waves. The gravity wave propagation problem in the lower atmosphere may be reduced into a scattering problem with an 'effective' potential; in such formalism, the eigenvalues may be discrete, corresponding to fully guided modes and partially guided modes, or may be continuous, corresponding to free modes. A phase shift analysis reveals two 'resonance' states corresponding to horizontal phase velocities of 309.7 and 264.2 m/s, which may be identified as the Lamb mode and the s2 mode, respectively. It is concluded that atmospheric structure is not likely to be a means for ducting the F region gravity wave
