\item{gh}{geopotential height}

\item{u}{mean zonal velocity}

\item{v}{mean meridional velocity}

\item{lon}{longitude (in degrees)}

\item{lat}{latitude (in degrees)}

\item{lev}{pressure level (in hPa)}

\item{g}{acceleration of gravity}

\item{a}{Earth's radius}
}
\value{
A list with elements: longitude, latitude, and the two horizontal components
of the wave activity flux.
