      abstract     = {Recent advances in satellite techniques hold great
                      potential for mapping global gravity wave (GW) processes at
                      various altitudes. Poor understanding of small-scale GWs has
                      been a major limitation to numerical climate and weather
                      models for making reliable forecasts. Observations of
                      short-scale features have important implication for
                      validating and improving future high-resolution numerical
                      models. This paper summarizes recent GW observations and
                      sensitivities from several satellite instruments, including
                      MLS, AMSU-A, AIRS, GPS, and CLAES. It is shown in an example
                      that mountain waves with horizontal wavelengths as short as
                      similar to 30 km now can be observed by AIRS, reflecting the
                      superior horizontal resolution in these modern satellite
                      instruments. Our studies show that MLS, AMSU-A and AIRS
                      observations reveal similar GW characteristics, with the
                      observed variances correlated well with background winds. As
                      a complementary technique, limb sounding instruments like
                      CRISTA, CLAES, and GPS can detect GWs with better vertical
                      but poorer horizontal resolutions. To resolve different
                      parts of the broad GW spectrum, both satellite limb and
                      nadir observing techniques are needed, and a better
                      understanding of GW complexities requires joint analyses of
                      these data and dedicated hieh-resolution model simulations.
