abstract = {Kelvin waves excited by tropospheric convection are
considered to be one of the main drivers of the
stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). In this
paper we combine several measured data sets with the Gravity
wave Regional Or Global RAy Tracer (GROGRAT) in order to
study the forcing and vertical propagation of Kelvin waves.
Launch distributions for the ray tracer at tropospheric
altitudes are deduced from space-time spectra of European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
operational analyses, as well as outgoing longwave radiation
(OLR) and rainfall data measured by the Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. The resulting
stratospheric Kelvin wave spectra are compared to ECMWF
operational analyses and temperature measurements of the
Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission
Radiometry (SABER) satellite instrument. Questions addressed
are: the relative importance of source variability versus
wind modulation, the relative importance of radiative and
turbulent damping versus wave breaking, and the minimum
altitude where freely propagating waves dominate the
spectrum.},
