Internal Atmospheric Gravity Waves (AGW) play <strong>an</strong> import<strong>an</strong>t role in upper <strong>an</strong>d<br />

middle atmospheric dynamics. Such waves c<strong>an</strong> propogate far away from their origin up to<br />

hundreds of kilometers verticaly <strong>an</strong>d m<strong>an</strong>y thous<strong>an</strong>ds of kilometers horizontaly. AGW are<br />

also known for causing Traveling Ionspheric Disturb<strong>an</strong>ces (TID) when they reach ionosphere.<br />

Already for couple of decades Incoherent Scatter Radars (ISR) have been successfully used in<br />

AGW/TID studies. A big step forward in ISR measurements was made when EISCAT<br />

Svalbard Radar (ESR) was operated allmost continuosly for a whole one year period within<br />

the “International Polar Year” (IPY) programme. It has been found that AGW/TID is<br />

common phenomenon above ESR especialy during spring <strong>an</strong>d summer. We are going to<br />

present the results of our statistical study including <strong>an</strong>nual <strong>an</strong>d duirnal variability of<br />

AGW/TID occur<strong>an</strong>ce frequency <strong>an</strong>d parameters (especially, periods <strong>an</strong>d amplitudes). The<br />

impact of geomagnetic activity will be also discussed.
