Check this out! 👀 Gravity waves can be seen on this satellite loop moving through southeast Canada and the Northeast US, emanating from an MCS in the Midwest. Like a rock dropped into water, strong vertical motions within the storm complex generate ripples in the atmosphere.

Very much NOT a gravity wave. The only time a gravity wave was detected it was the result of two black holes colliding. It's a physics phenomenon not a meteorological one.

You’re referring to gravitational waves which have to do with spacetime. Gravity waves are a disturbance in a fluid (the atmosphere).

And you would be correct: Blame my physics background and the fact I'm currently reading a good biography of Einstein.

NOT gravity waves! Find another name!

Are you sure "pressure wave" isn't a better description? Sure, anything can with mass can make a "Gravity wave", but you can't see it, and measurable gravity waves are not created by clouds and wind.

@brendonme I would normally call this an outflow boundary due to a collapsing cell

That was the first thing I saw on the satellite today and was very impressed!

Out flow boundaries are now considered gravity waves? 🤡

Outflow boundaries and gravity waves (not to be confused with gravitational waves in spacetime) are completely different things.

Very interesting...somewhat reminds me of the Hunga-Tongo volcanic eruption

not to be confused with gravitational waves, which have far, FAR smaller effects on the atmosphere that are not noticable

#NotGravityWaves

Everytime there's one of these phenomena posted, the smarter than everyone 'not a gravity wave' weenies come out 🤣 #gravityNOTgravitation

It has been possible to view gravitational wave effects in the Pacific Northwest for about 2 weeks formed through very long cloud streams. It was also possible to witness clouds forming extraplanetary phenomena, including allusions to extraplanetary shape, location.

Is this actually a gravity wave though? Seems like it moves WAY too fast. My interpretation is that it's essentially a 'wave of forcing' announcing the arrival of the fast-moving jet streak.

Hey Colin. How risky do you think it is to go to pnc bank arts center for concert tomorrow

Amazing

Hmmm, looks very similar to the behavior of sunspot pneumbras 🤔

Gravitational waves aren't "tall" like ocean waves. They're measured by strain, a fractional stretch of space. The first detected one, GW150914, had a peak strain of about 10 to the minus 21. That means it changed a 4-kilometer LIGO arm by roughly a thousandth the width of a proton.

El post describe a la perfección un fascinante fenómeno meteorológico de ondas de gravedad atmosféricas, pero el autor se equivocó al traducirlo o nombrarlo como si fueran las ondas gravitacionales relativistas del espacio-tiempo de Einstein. IAGoogle

Do you know the time frame of this timelapse?

Cue the HAARP kooks.

🤣🤣🤣

what day is this from?
