Scientific paper

The theory of atmospheric acoustic-gravity wave propagation is investigated using techniques developed in ionospheric radio wave theory. It is shown that the WKB solutions for acoustic-gravity waves contain 'additional memory' as well as the familiar phase memory. The importance of the memory terms is assessed by comparison with a full wave numerical analysis. The reflection of acoustic-gravity waves and their behavior near a resonance are also studied. A reasonable correspondence is found between the theoretical results and experimental observations on traveling ionospheric disturbances.
