Vibrational Regimes in the Atmosphere

Abstract

The article considers the influence of the daily rotation of the Earth on the oscillatory processes in the atmosphere. When considering axial rotation, diurnal changes in air temperature are taken into account. If the frequency of Brent-Väisälä coincides with the frequency of the daily rotation of the Earth or their difference is insignificant, then phenomena such as resonance or beats occur. In a standard atmosphere, the Brunt—Väisälä frequency is many times greater than the axial rotation frequency, so these cases are very rare. However, such high-intensity fluctuations can lead to significant periodic temperature changes at the considered point.
