All types of waves can exhibit refraction, which occurs when the wave passes from one medium to another at an angle and changes its speed, causing it to bend. This bending of the wave is due to the change in the wave's velocity as it enters a different medium.

What is a series of compressions and refractions forms which a wave?

A wavefront is a series of compressions and refractions that form as a wave advances through a medium. This series of compressions and refractions represents the changing regions of high and low pressure as the wave travels.

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.
