abstract = {We analyze a large-amplitude mountain wave event, which was
observed by a ground-based lidar above New Zealand between
31 July and 1 August 2014. Besides the lidar observations,
European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)
data, satellite observations, and ray tracing simulations
are utilized in this study. It is found that the propagation
of mountain waves into the middle atmosphere is influenced
by two different processes at different stages of the event.
At the beginning of the event, instabilities in a weak wind
layer cause wave breaking in the lower stratosphere. During
the course of the event the mountain waves propagate to
higher altitudes and are refracted southward toward the
polar night jet due to the strong meridional shear of the
zonal wind. As the waves propagate out of the observational
volume, the ground-based lidar observes no mountain waves in
the mesosphere. Ray tracing simulations indicate that the
mountain waves propagated to mesospheric altitudes south of
New Zealand where the polar night jet advected the waves
eastward. These results underline the importance of
considering horizontal propagation of gravity waves, e.g.,
when analyzing locally confined observations of gravity
waves.},
