Gill, Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics , has a very complete treatment of gravity, inertia-gravity, and Rossby
waves, with particular emphasis on observed oscillations in the oceans.
Smith (1979) discusses many aspects of waves generated by flow over mountains.
Chapman and Lindzen, Atmospheric Tides : Thermal and Gravitational , is the classic reference on both
observational and theoretical aspects of tides, a class of atmospheric motions for which the linear
perturbations method has proved to be particularly successful.
Scorer, Natural Aerodynamics , contains an excellent qualitative discussion on many aspects of waves
generated by barriers such as lee waves.
Nappo, An Introduction to Atmospheric Gravity Waves is an excellent introduction to the theory and
observation of gravity waves in the atmosphere.
