Mixed Rossby-gravity (MRG) waves are westward-propagating disturbances associated with cross-equatorial flows throughout the tropical atmosphere. Observations show that their spatial scales increase with altitude so that MRG waves in the upper stratosphere and higher up have planetary scales whereas the upper troposphere...
