| 520 | _ | _ | |a We investigate stratospheric gravity wave observations by the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite and the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) aboard NASA's Aura satellite. AIRS operational temperature retrievals are typically not used for studies of gravity waves, because their horizontal resolution is rather limited. This study uses data of a high-resolution retrieval which provides stratospheric temperature profiles for each individual satellite footprint. Therefore the horizontal sampling of the high-resolution retrieval is nine times better than that of the operational retrieval. HIRDLS provides 2D spectral formation of observed gravity waves in terms of along-track and vertical wavelengths. AIRS as a nadir sounder is more sensitive to short horizontal wavelength gravity waves and HIRDLS as a limb sounder is more sensitive to short vertical wavelength gravity waves. Therefore HIRDLS is ideally suited to complement AIRS observations. A calculated momentum flux factor indicates that the waves seen by AIRS contribute significantly to momentum flux, even if the AIRS temperature variance may be small compared to HIRDLS. The stratospheric wave structures observed by AIRS and HIRDLS agree often very well. Case studies of a mountain wave event and a non-orographic wave event demonstrate that the observed phase structures of AIRS and HIRDLS are conform. AIRS has a coarser vertical resolution, which results in an attenuation of the amplitude and coarser vertical wavelengths compared to HIRDLS. However, AIRS has a much higher horizontal resolution and the propagation direction of the waves can be clearly identified in geographical maps. The horizontal orientation of the phase fronts can be deduced from AIRS 3D temperature fields. This is a restricting factor for gravity wave analyses of limb measurements. Additionally, temperature variances with respect to stratospheric gravity wave activity are compared on a statistical basis. The complete HIRDLS measurement period from January 2005 to March 2008 is covered. The seasonal and latitudinal distributions of gravity wave activity as observed by AIRS and HIRDLS fit well. A strong annual cycle at mid and high latitudes is found in time series of gravity wave variances at 42 km, which has during wintertime its maxima and during summertime its minima. During austral wintertime at 60° S the variability is largest. Variations in the zonal winds at 2.5 hPa are associated with large variability in gravity wave variances. Altogether, gravity wave variances of AIRS and HIRDLS are conform and complementary to each other. Thereby large parts of the gravity wave spectrum are covered by joint observations. This opens up fascinating vistas for future gravity wave research. |
