Investigating multi-scale gravity wave coupling across atmospheric regions using multiple instruments
Abstract
This presentation discusses combined measurements and modeling to investigate gravity wave (GW) coupling between different regions of the atmosphere. We include measurements from both ground based systems (lidar and radar) as well as satellite measurements from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) to explore temporal and spatial evolution of GWs over a range of times and altitudes. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) is used to assess background conditions leading to localized breaking altitudes and subsequent GW generation. The potential for secondary GW generation, and observation of subsequent secondary GWs is studied over GW hotspot areas.
