Keywords: atmospheric gravity waves, inhomogeneous medium
Аnnotation: The atmospheric gravity waves in horizontally inhomogeneous stratified medium are studied assuming the dependence of the Brunt-Vaisala frequency on the horizontal coordinate. In linear approximation, it is shown that structure of these waves demonstrates the reflection, the amplitude growth, and the wavelength decrease along the direction of the Brunt-Vaisala frequency w
