The influence of solar wind on extratropical cyclones – Part 2: A link mediated by auroral atmospheric gravity waves?
Cases of mesoscale cloud bands in extratropical cyclones are observed a few hours after atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) are launched from the auroral ionosphere. It is suggested that the solar-wind-generated auroral AGWs contribute to processes that release instabilities and initiate slantwise...
