Atmospheric gravity waves have been a subject of intense research activity in recent years
because of their myriad effects and their major contributions to atmospheric circulation …

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 …

Middle atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) must employ a parameterization for
small-scale gravity waves (GWs). Such parameterizations typically make very simple …

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 …

The Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA)
instrument measured stratospheric temperatures and trace species concentrations with high …

The statistical characteristics of inertia‐gravity waves (IGWs) in the troposphere (2–14 km)
and lower stratosphere (18–28 km) are analyzed using daily radiosonde observations over …

Mountains significantly influence weather and climate on Earth, including disturbed surface
winds; altered distribution of precipitation; gravity waves reaching the upper atmosphere; …

A comprehensive investigation of polar stratospheric clouds was performed on 25 January
2000 with instruments onboard a balloon gondola flown from Kiruna, Sweden. Cloud layers …

A strong mountain wave, observed over Central Europe on 12 January 2016, is simulated in
2D under two fixed background wind conditions representing opposite tidal phases. The aim …

A PSC was detected on 6 February 2003 in the Arctic stratosphere by in-situ measurements
onboard the high-altitude research aircraft Geophysica. Low number densities (~ 10-4 cm-3) …
