Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play important roles in stratospheric ozone depletion
during winter and spring at high latitudes (eg, the Antarctic ozone hole). PSC particles …

Recent observational and theoretical studies of the global properties of small‐scale
atmospheric gravity waves have highlighted the global effects of these waves on the …

The main aim of this study is to find and classify hotspots of stratospheric gravity waves on a
global scale. The analysis is based on a 9 year record (2003 to 2011) of radiance …

High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) temperature profiles are analyzed to
derive global properties of gravity waves. We describe a wavelet analysis technique that …

Since February 2002, the SABER (sounding of the atmosphere using broadband emission
radiometry) satellite instrument has measured temperatures throughout the entire middle …

The gravity wave (GW)–resolving capabilities of 118-GHz saturated thermal radiances
acquired throughout the stratosphere by the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Aura …

Global model data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts
(ECMWF) are analyzed for resolved gravity waves (GWs). Based on fitted 3-D wave vectors …

We use theory and global ray modeling to investigate how the potential of gravity waves to
transport momentum flux globally from the lower atmosphere into the mesosphere and lower …

We use measurements from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the AQUA satellite
to observe the 3‐dimensional structure of a gravity wave event over the Antarctic peninsula …

Stratospheric gravity waves from small-scale orographic sources are currently not well-
represented in general circulation models. This may be a reason why many simulations …
