Propagation of a 500 kms-1 perturbation of period 36 ms initiated at a r0 = 100 km. The period corresponds to a wavelength of λ0 = 0.25RWD at the optimal radius: r0 = 350 km. Initially geometry dampens the wave but then the gradient steepens and it is amplified. We compare the theoretical formula (9) for a dissipationless case to the simulation.
