abstract = {Atmospheric gravity waves are a major cause of uncertainty
in global atmospheric models. This uncertainty affects
regional climate projections and seasonal weather
predictions. Improving the representation of gravity waves
in global atmospheric models, is therefore of primary
interest. In this regard, measurements providing an accurate
3-D characterization of gravity waves are needed. Using the
Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance Imaging of the
Atmosphere (GLORIA), the first airborne implementation of a
novel infrared limb imaging technique, a gravity wave event
over Iceland was measured. An air volume disturbed by this
gravity wave, was investigated from different angles by
encircling the volume with a closed flight pattern. Using a
tomographic retrieval approach the measurements of this air
mass under different angles allowed for a 3-D reconstruction
of the temperature and trace gas structure. The temperature
measurements were used to derive gravity wave amplitudes,
3-D wave vectors, and direction-resolved momentum fluxes.
These parameters facilitated the backtracing of the waves to
their sources on the south coast of Iceland. Two wave
packets are distinguished, one stemming from the main
mountain ridge in the South of Iceland, a second one from
the smaller mountains in the North. The total,
area-integrated fluxes of these two wave packets are
determined. Following the waves forward with a ray-tracing
model highlighted the importance of 3-D propagation, an
effect generally neglected in global atmospheric models.},
