Different types of bandgaps in the acoustic-gravity wave spectrum, which are found from the analysis of the dispersion equation obtained in the model of the infinite isothermal atmosphere, are studied. Classification of the types of bandgap regions in the AGW spectrum is proposed. The structure and the localization of the bandgaps relative to the regions of freely propagating waves and special points in the bandgaps of the AGW spectrum are studied using the corresponding spectral diagrams. In the bandgap region of type I, which separates the acoustic and gravity bands of freely propagating AGWs, horizontal waves with a purely imaginary value of the vertical wavenumber can exist. In the AGW spectrum, the possibility of the existence of special acoustic-gravity modes for which one of the perturbed quantities is zero has been considered and it is shown that they can exist only in the spectral bandgap of type I. A spectral bandgap in which vertical acoustic-gravity waves with a purely imaginary value of the horizontal wavenumber can exist was also analyzed. A spectral region in which the existence of acoustic-gravity waves is impossible but atmospheric oscillations may occur is also taken into consideration in this study.

This paper deals with the specific features of the propagation of acoustic-gravity waves in spatially inhomogeneous wind flows, wherein the velocity is slowly changed in the horizontal direction. A system of hydrodynamic equations taking into account the wind flow with spatial inhomogeneity is used for analysis. Unlike the system of equations written for a stationary medium (or a medium moving at a uniform velocity), the derived system contains the components describing the interaction of waves with a medium. It is shown that the effect of inhomogeneous background medium parameters can be separated from the effects of inertial forces by a special substitution of variables. An analytical expression describing the change in the amplitude of waves in a medium moving at a nonuniform velocity is derived. This expression contains two functional dependences: (1) the linear part, which is caused by the changes in the background parameters of a medium and independent of the propagation direction of waves with respect to the flow, and (2) the exponential part, which is related with inertial forces and characterizes the dependence of the amplitudes of acoustic-gravity waves on the direction of their propagation. The exponential part shows an increase in the amplitudes of waves in the headwind and a decrease in their amplitudes in the downwind.

The possibility of observing evanescent modes on the Sun and in the Earth’s atmosphere was analyzed.

Magnetic, electrical, electromagnetic, ionospheric, and seismic effects and the effects of acoustic gravity waves have been assessed. The magnetic effect of the ionospheric currents and the current in the wake of the meteoroid could be considerably large (approximately 0.4–0.7 nT). Owing to the capture of electrons in the atmospheric gravity wave field, the magnetic effect can reach the levels of 0.6–6 nT. Under the influence of an external electric field, a transient current pulse with a current strength of up to approximately 10<sup>2</sup>–10<sup>3</sup> A can arise. The electrostatic effect can be accompanied by the accumulation of an electric charge of approximately 1–6 mC, which produces the electric field strength of approximately 10 MV/m. The flow of the electric current in the meteoroid wake can give rise to generation of an electromagnetic pulse in the 10–100 kHz band with an electric field strength in the range of 1–10 V/m. The electromagnetic effect of infrasound could be substantial (approximately 0.6–6 V/m and approximately 2–20 nT). The absorption of the shock wave at the ionospheric dynamo region altitudes (approximately 100–150 km) can generate secondary atmospheric gravity waves with a relative amplitude of approximately 0.1%. The fall of the meteoroid produced a plasma wake not only in the lower atmosphere but also in the upper atmosphere at altitudes of not less than 1000 km.

The possibilities of generating the ion and magnetic sound by infrasound and generating gradient drift and drift dissipative instabilities seem to be unlikely as well.
