Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments in gravity-wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity-wave momentum flux from observations and models
M. J. Alexander,Marvin A. Geller,Charles McLandress,Saroja Polavarapu,Peter Preusse,Fabrizio Sassi,Kaoru Sato,Stephen D. Eckermann,Manfred Ern,Albert Hertzog,Yoshio Kawatani,Manuel Pulido,Tiffany A. Shaw,Michael Sigmond,Robert A. Vincent,Shingo Watanabe +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of gravity-wave effects in stratosphere-resolving climate models, recent observations and analysis methods that reveal global patterns in gravitywave momentum fluxes and results of very-high-resolution model studies, and outline some future research requirements to improve the treatment of these waves in climate simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hiroaki Tatebe,Tomoo Ogura,Tomoko Nitta,Yoshiki Komuro,Koji Ogochi,Toshihiko Takemura,Kengo Sudo,Miho Sekiguchi,Manabu Abe,Fuyuki Saito,Minoru Chikira,Shingo Watanabe,Masato Mori,Nagio Hirota,Yoshio Kawatani,Takashi Mochizuki,Kei Yoshimura,Kumiko Takata,Ryouta O'ishi,Dai Yamazaki,Tatsuo Suzuki,Masao Kurogi,Takahito Kataoka,Masahiro Watanabe,Masahide Kimoto +24 more
TL;DR: The 6th version of the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC), called MIROC6, was developed by a Japanese modeling community as discussed by the authors, and the results show that the overall performance of mean climate and internal climate variability in MirOC6 is better than that in MIRoc5.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origins of mesospheric gravity waves
Kaoru Sato,Shingo Watanabe,Yoshio Kawatani,Yoshihiro Tomikawa,Kazuyuki Miyazaki,Masaaki Takahashi +5 more
TL;DR: Using hourly data from a three-year simulation based on a gravity-wave resolving general circulation model, the authors inferred a global view of gravity wave sources and propagation affecting significantly the momentum balance in the mesosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravity Wave Characteristics in the Southern Hemisphere Revealed by a High-Resolution Middle-Atmosphere General Circulation Model
TL;DR: Gravity wave characteristics in the middle-to high-latitude Southern Hemisphere were analyzed using simulation data over 3 yr from a high-resolution middle-atmosphere general circulation model without using any gravity wave parameterizations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
General aspects of a T213L256 middle atmosphere general circulation model
Shingo Watanabe,Yoshio Kawatani,Yoshihiro Tomikawa,Kazuyuki Miyazaki,Masaaki Takahashi,Masaaki Takahashi,Kaoru Sato +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a high-resolution middle atmosphere general circulation model (GCM) was developed for studying small-scale atmospheric processes, and the general features of the model were discussed.
