The Japanese probe Akatsuki has observed a massive gravity wave in the atmosphere of Venus. This is not the first time such a wave was observed on the Solar System's second planet, but it is the largest ever recorded, stretching just over 6,000 miles from end to end.
Worth pointing out that there are gravity waves and gravity waves. Contractions of spacetime due to things like black holes colliding, this is not. It's a meteorological feature.

Wouldn't atmospheric density wave be a way better term than a gravity wave?
As for a cause, I would think with an atmosphere that thick any geological event could cause them much in the same way an earthquake causes a Tsunami here on earth.
