abstract = {Global gravity wave (GW) distributions are retrieved from
infrared emission limb soundings taken by the CRISTA
instrument in August 1997 and by the SABER instrument in
August 2003. The investigated altitudes cover the whole
middle atmosphere from the tropopause to the mesopause. The
data agree semi-quantitatively in their salient features and
only small deviations due to the different meteorological
conditions in the two years are observed. Of particular
interest is the decrease of GW activity at the top of the
southern polar vortex and an accompanying shift of GW
activity towards the subtropics in the mesosphere. We
emulate this feature by two conceptionally different models,
the Warner and McIntyre spectral parameterization scheme and
the GROGRAT GW ray tracer. Both models indicate that
saturation limits and GW breaking are the governing
processes in creating this structure. Also, both models can
well reproduce the global distributions except for two
important points: (1) convectively generated GWs in the
northern subtropics are largely underestimated; (2) northern
hemisphere high latitude activity is grossly overestimated.
These points indicate that GW distribution in general
circulation models are not fully realistic. Refined
measurements are required to constrain more realistic GW
source distributions. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights
