What atmospheric conditions can cause sound wave refractions similar to those observed in the ocean?

whenever a wave travels through a new median refraction occurs, this is true for any wave. For the example of sound waves, if the wave traveled into an area where the density of molecules in the air was lesser or greater, this new median would cause refraction to occur. This can be calculated using Snell's law, which is n1/n2=sin(x)1/sin(x)2=V1/V2. where n is the index of refraction, v is velocity, and x (usually theta is used in place of x) is the angle.

Do animals get Tourette syndrome?
No, Tourette syndrome is a human disease. There are some neurologic conditions in animals in which similar signs can be observed, but the premonitory urges and recognition of the tics cannot be verified in humans. Therefore, while some animals may have outward symptoms similar to what may be seen in humans with Tourette syndrome, the condition in animals is not considered to be the same.
