abstract = {Five years of global temperatures retrieved from radio
occultations measured by Champ (Challenging Minisatellite
Payload) and SAC-C (Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas-C)
are analyzed for gravity waves (GWs). In order to separate
GWs from other atmospheric variations, a high-pass filter
was applied on the vertical profile. Resulting temperature
fluctuations correspond to vertical wavelengths between 400
in (instrumental resolution) and 10 km (limit of the
high-pass filter). The temperature fluctuations can be
converted into GW potential energy, but for comparison with
parameterization schemes GW momentum flux is required. We
therefore used representative values for the vertical and
horizontal wavelength to infer GW momentum flux from the GPS
measurements. The vertical wavelength value is determined by
high-pass filtering, the horizontal wavelength is adopted
from a latitude-dependent climatology. The obtained momentum
flux distributions agree well, both in global distribution
and in absolute values, with simulations using the Warner
and McIntyre parameterization (WM) scheme. However,
discrepancies are found in the annual cycle. Online
simulations, implementing the WM scheme in the mechanistic
COMMA-LIM (Cologne Model of the Middle Atmosphere-Leipzig
Institute for Meteorology) general circulation model (GCM),
do not converge, demonstrating that a good representation of
GWs in a GCM requires both a realistic launch distribution
and an adequate representation of GW breaking and momentum
transfer. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},
