Abstract Planetary and gravity waves contribute significantly to the variability of atmospheric parameters in the middle atmosphere. In the mesosphere and lower thermosphere the wave fluctuations are sufficiently large to often mask the prevailing or mean state of the atmosphere. This review summarizes current knowledge about the motion, temperature and density fields associated with both large and small scale waves and stresses improved understanding that has come from recent ground based, rocket and satellite investigations.
