I assume what you are interested in are the effects these waves have on
something within the simulation domain. There isn't code (I know of) in
the toolkit that could readily produce data like this. Thus, at the very
minimum, you would need to write some code (a new thorn most likely)
that does this; providing a boundary condition for such an incoming
wave. I cannot say more than that, as that really would depend on the
details of what you plan to do.

Again, I doubt something like that exists already, sorry.
