Abstract: Thermal forcing is one of the mechanisms of wave generation in convection. Although it does not account for all the wave generation mechanisms, thermal forcing is a good proxy for estimating the gravity wave spectrum forced ...

Abstract: The authors examine the effects of tropospheric wind shear on the phase speed spectrum of gravity waves generated by tropical convection. A two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is used to perform numerous squall line ...

Abstract: The spectrum of convectively generated gravity waves is currently not resolved in general circulation models and must be parameterized. Due to the lack of understanding of the connection between convection properties and ...
