Scientific paper

The contribution of the horizontal inhomogeneity of the atmosphere to the characteristics of internal gravity waves (IGWs) at heights above 200 km is analyzed. It is shown that decreases in wind velocity and background atmospheric density typical for nighttime conditions provide for a 1.5-fold increase in IGW amplitude near a height of 250 km above the equator. When both hemispheres are taken into account, this almost fully compensates for the effect of viscosity and heat conduction under high solar activity.
