Gravity waves are created by the action of gravity on density variations in the stratified atmosphere. They are the analog in general relativity theory of electromagnetic waves in classical electrodynamics. Like electromagnetic waves, gravity waves is transmitted at the speed of light. Gravity waves are far more difficult to detect than electromagnetic waves and, despite a number of experiments, have never been detected directly. However, their existence can be inferred from the analysis of the period of a binary pulsar system. A gravity wave is a generic classification for lee waves, mountains waves, and many other waves that form in the atmosphere.
Gravity Waves are waves hypothesized to propagate gravity and to travel at the speed of light. It has a special relationship with gravity. These waves are created by the density varieties in the atmosphere. They are generated in a fluid medium or at the interface between to different phases. I found this information at these websites:
