Abstract: The irregular winds of the middle atmosphere are commonly attributed to an upwardly propagating system of atmospheric gravity waves. Their one-dimensional (in vertical wavenumber m) power spectrum has been reported to ...

Abstract: A Doppler-spread theory for the ?saturation? of middle-atmosphere gravity?wave spectra (in vertical wave-number m) is presented in a companion paper. It includes a formula for the large-m limit that would be imposed by the ...

Abstract: The irregular winds of the middle atmosphere are commonly attributed to an upwardly propagating system of atmospheric gravity waves. Their one-dimensional (in vertical wavenumber m) power spectrum has been reported to ...

Abstract: A Doppler-spread theory for the saturation of middle atmosphere gravity waves was presented in an earlier member of this sequence of papers. It employed a model in which a broad spectrum of waves subject to linear theory ...

Abstract: The theory of mountain waves is usually discussed for the case of a steady background wind. Here, the consequences of a superimposed diurnal (or other periodic) background wind variation are considered in outline. They are ...

Abstract: Momentum deposition by orographically generated atmospheric gravity waves has been incorporated into a general circulation model of the troposphere and lower stratosphere by McFarlane, using a parameterization of real ...

Abstract: In mountain-wave studies, specific formulae are not well known for paths of ascent of wave energy and momentum from their origins in mountainous terrain. Thew formulae are developed and presented here, along with their ...
