abstract = {Gravity wave (GW) parametrizations for general circulation
models (GCMs) restrict the propagation of GWs to the
vertical direction. The influence of this vertical-only
propagation assumption on the distribution of GW drag (GWD)
has not yet been investigated. Thus, we present results of
two global GW ray tracing simulations, one with full
three-dimensional propagation (GWO) and a second one with
vertical-only propagation (GWV) of GWs for January and July
2008. The Gravity wave Regional Or Global RAy Tracer
(GROGRAT) was used to perform these simulations with a
global homogeneous and isotropic launch distribution. Both
simulations, GWO and GWV, are analyzed with respect to GWD
in the zonal and meridional direction. The location of zonal
GWD maxima changes. GWO shows in comparison to GWV a
poleward shift of zonal GWD in both seasons with increased
GWD at the summer stratopause. The meridional GWD is much
stronger in the GWO case, spatially correlated with the
zonal drag, and is generally poleward directed. These
features in zonal and meridional drag are consistent with a
general prevalence of poleward propagation of GWs.
Additional simulations suggest that this is due to the
Coriolis effect as well as wind filtering around the
tropopause, allowing more GWs to propagate into the middle
atmosphere. We infer how GWs of different horizontal
wavelengths and phase speeds cause the main differences in
GWD in the middle atmosphere. A simple test for GCMs is
proposed to assess the effects of the altered meridional
drag on the general circulation and the interaction with
planetary waves},
