摘要 Typhoons, as strong convective systems, can excite multi-scale atmospheric gravity waves that travel long distances, and play an important role in momentum and energy transmission between the middle and upper atmosphere. In this paper, the research progress in the observation techniques, generation mechanism and propagation characteristics of typhoon-induced gravity waves were systematically reviewed. These studies show that based on the combined application of ground-based and space-based observation (sounding balloons, airglow imaging, and satellite remote sensing) and reanalysis data (such as ERA5), with the aid of ray tracing theory and numerical simulation technology, the mechanism of typhoon induced gravity waves and its dynamic characteristics in the middle and upper atmosphere have been better revealed. At present, there are still some insufficiencies in the fields of propagation path tracking of gravity waves, terrain multi-scale effect modeling and parameterization of inertial gravity waves, which need to be further studied in the future.
