Gravity Wave The undulating pattern of a gravity wave must seem a bizarre sight, especially if you’re more used to seeing
waves of the water, not in the sky. Seldom seen gravity waves are caused when air is displaced in the vertical plain, usually as a result of updrafts coming off the mountains or during thunderstorms.

NASA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wave_cloud.jpg>* A wave pattern will only be generated when the updraft air is forced into a stable air pocket. The upward momentum of the draft triggers into the air pocket causes changes in the atmosphere, altering the fluid dynamics. Nature then tries to restore the fluid changes within the atmosphere, which present in a visible oscillating pattern within the cloud.
