Abstract: 
An approximate dispersion equation for atmosphere gravity waves is deduced and analyzed. The equation is productive in analytical calculating. Its application to the analysis of phase velocity, group velocity, and polarization properties of the atmosphere gravity waves is shown.
Keywords: analytical calculating, dispersion equation, velocity, waves
