Those "gravity" waves are not waves of gravity

They are normal "density" waves of two different densities of air, like the waves on the sea surface which are called "gravity waves" sometimes, because the enabling mechanism is a density interface and gravity, in contrast to pressure or shear waves, which require neither.
