abstract = {In order to reduce uncertainties in modeling the
stratospheric circulation, global observations of gravity
wave momentum flux (GWMF) vectors are required for
comparison with distributions of resolved and parametrized
GWMF in global models. For the first time, we derive GWMF
vectors globally from data of a nadir-viewing satellite
instrument: we apply a 3D method to an Atmospheric Infrared
Sounder (AIRS) temperature dataset that was optimized for
gravity wave (GW) analysis. For January 2009, the resulting
distributions of GW amplitudes and of net GWMF highlight the
importance of GWs in the polar vortex and the summertime
subtropics. Net GWMF is preferentially directed opposite to
the background wind, and, interestingly, it is dominated by
large amplitude GWs of relatively long horizontal
wavelength. For convective GW sources, these large
horizontal scales are in contradiction with traditional
thoughts. However, the observational filter effect needs to
be kept in mind when interpreting the results.},
