Abstract
Gravity waves in the parallel shear flow of a continuously stratified compressible fluid are considered. It is demonstrated that the shear i nduces a coupling between the sound waves and the internal gravity wav es. The conditions for the effectiveness of the coupling are defined. It is also shown that, under suitable conditions, beat waves can be ge nerated.
