For all wave-numbers, inertio-gravity waves have frequency smaller than ''N'' and greater than ''f''. Their [[group velocity]] is perpendicular to the [[phase velocity]] such that the vertical component of the group velocity is opposite in sign to the vertical component of the phase velocity. For an upward propagating inertio-gravity wave in the Northern Hemisphere, the [[perturbation]] wind [[vector]] turns anticyclonically with height.</div><br/> </div>
