Abstract
The effect of wind upon the gravity waves produced by a large explosion is considered. The uniform horizontal wind is applied to the hydrodynamic equations; application of perturbation techniques results in an equation for excess pressure which involves the wind velocity. In the limiting case, as this velocity approaches zero, this equation becomes identical with the non-wind case. This equation is solved by numerical methods with appropriate boundary conditions for the particular model of the atmosphere considered. For a pulse traveling down wind, the effect is to increase the dispersion and the phase velocity in the gravity wave mode.
