abstract = {During austral winter, the southern high latitudes has some
of the most intense stratospheric gravity wave (GW) activity
globally. However, producing accurate representations of GW
dynamics in this region in numerical models has proved
exceptionally challenging. One reason for this is that
questions remain regarding the relative contributions of
orographic and non-orographic sources of GWs here. We use
three-dimensional (3-D) satellite GW observations from the
Atmospheric Infrared Sounder in austral winter 2012 in
combination with the Gravity-wave Regional Or Global Ray
Tracer to backward trace GW rays to their sources. We trace
over 14.2 million rays, through ERA5 reanalysis background
atmosphere, to their lower atmospheric sources. We find that
GWs observed thousands of km downstream can be traced back
to key orographic regions, and that on average, all waves
(orographic and non-orographic) converge meridionally over
the Southern Ocean. We estimate that across this winter,
orographic sources contribute around $5\%–35\%$ to the
total momentum flux (MF) observed near 60S. The remaining
proportion consists of waves from non-orographic sources,
which although typically carry lower MF, the large spatial
extent of non-orographic sources leads to a higher overall
contribution. We also quantify the proportion of MF traced
back to different regions across the whole southern high
latitudes area in order to measure the relative importance
of these different regions. These results provide the
important insights needed to advance our knowledge of the
atmospheric momentum budget in the southern high latitudes.},
