abstract = {Global model data of the European Centre for Medium-Range
Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) are analyzed for resolved gravity
waves (GWs). Based on fitted 3-D wave vectors of individual
waves and using the ECMWF global scale background fields,
backward ray-tracing from 25 km altitude is performed.
Different sources such as orography, convection and winter
storms are identified. It is found that due to oblique
propagation waves spread widely from narrow source regions.
Gravity waves which originate from regions of strong
convection are frequently excited around the tropopause and
have in the ECMWF model low phase and group velocities as
well as very long horizontal wavelengths compared to other
models and to measurements. While the total amount of
momentum flux for convective GWs changes little over season,
GWs generated by storms and mountain waves show large
day-to-day variability, which has a strong influence also on
total hemispheric fluxes: from one day to the next the total
hemispheric flux may increase by a factor of 3. Implications
of these results for using the ECMWF model in predicting,
analyzing and interpreting global GW distributions as well
as implications for seamless climate prediction are
discussed.},
