Abstract

If we want to know how the Earth's atmosphere moves and behaves, we need to research atmospheric dynamics. Solar radiation, pressure gradients, gravitational forces, and frictional interactions are the primary emphasis of this paper's examination of the processes that drive atmospheric circulation. As a result of changes in solar heating, which cause variations in pressure and temperature around the world, the atmosphere is constantly moving. A key component of atmospheric dynamics, waves and oscillations are impacted by convective sources and geographical factors, which in turn impact weather patterns and the behaviour of the climate. When it comes to influencing atmospheric circulation and energy transmission, equatorial waves, gravity waves, and planetary waves are among the most important. The study delves into the mechanisms of wave propagation, hydrostatic balance, conservation of momentum, and application of equations from fluid mechanics and thermodynamics. If we want to make weather prediction models and climate research better, we need to understand these processes better.
