Journal ArticleDOI
Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case Study
Martina Bramberger,Andreas Dörnbrack,Katrina Bossert,Benedikt Ehard,David C. Fritts,Bernd Kaifler,Christian Mallaun,Andrew Orr,P.-Dominique Pautet,Markus Rapp,Markus Rapp,Michael J. Taylor,Simon Vosper,Bifford P. Williams,Benjamin Witschas +14 more
TL;DR: The DEEPWAVE (deep-propagating wave experiment) campaign was designed for an airborne and ground-based exploration of gravity waves from their tropospheric sources up to their dissipation at high altitudes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratified shear turbulence: Evolution and statistics
Joseph Werne,David C. Fritts +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the highest-resolution 3D direct numerical simulations to date of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are reported, and the resulting turbulence spans a broad range of spatial scales and exhibits Kolmogorov spectra in horizontal planes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Estimates of Gravity Wave Energy and Momentum Fluxes. Part II: Parameterization of Wave Forcing and Variability
David C. Fritts,Wentong Lu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a scheme for the parameterization of gravity wave propagation and effects in the lower and middle atmosphere that is tied as closely as possible to the spectral character of the observed gravity wave field is proposed.
Book ChapterDOI
A review of gravity wave saturation processes, effects, and variability in the middle atmosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the current understanding of the processes responsible for gravity wave saturation as well as the principal effects and variability of saturation in the lower and middle atmosphere is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variations of the semi-diurnal and diurnal tides in the MLT: multi-year MF radar observations from 2 to 70°N, and the GSWM tidal model
A. H. Manson,Chris Meek,Maura E. Hagan,Chris Hall,Wayne K. Hocking,John MacDougall,Steven J. Franke,Dennis M. Riggin,David C. Fritts,Robert A. Vincent,M. D. Burrage +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the results of 6 medium frequency radars (MFRs) and the Global Scale Wave Model (GSWM) for 3-month seasons.
