The response of an isothermal atmosphere to small disturbances in entropy is studied taking compressible effects fully into account. The method of Green's functions is applied to solve the linearized hydrodynamic equations by Fourier transformation. A bubble may be created by perturbing the entropy within a finite volume. At first Lamb waves will be then emitted radially and the bubble undergoes a series of Brunt-Väisälä oscillations. We find that horizontally propagating waves are generated only by large bubbles “exceeding a radius of about ten pressure scale heights, whereas smaller bubbles lead to motions propagating principally in the vertical direction.
