On the effect of vorticity on the propagation of internal gravity waves.
Abstract
We compare different models of solar surface convection to study vorticity and how it can influence the propagation of internal gravity waves. We conclude that simulations performed with higher grid resolution may have a reduced gravity wave flux in the lower part of the atmosphere due to strong vorticity. We also show that the vertical extent of the allowed region of propagation depends on the magnetic field inclination.
