abstract = {Observations of tropospheric gravity waves (GWs) made by
the new and extensive USArray Transportable Array (TA)
barometric network located east of the Rockies, in the
central and eastern United States and of stratospheric
(30–40 km above sea level) GWs made by the Atmospheric
Infrared Sounder (AIRS) are compared over a 5 year time span
from 2010 through 2014. GW detections in the period band
from 2 to 6 h made at the Earth's surface during the
thunderstorm season from May through August each year
exhibit the same broad spatial and temporal patterns as
observed at stratospheric altitudes. At both levels, the
occurrence frequency of GWs is higher at night than during
the day and is highest to the west of the Great Lakes.
Statistically significant correlations between the variance
of the pressure at the TA, which is a proxy for GWs at
ground level, with 8.1 μm brightness temperature
measurements from AIRS and rain radar precipitation data,
which are both proxies for convective activity, indicate
that GWs observed at the TA are related to convective
sources. There is little, if any, time lag between the two.
Correlations between GWs in the stratosphere and at ground
level are weaker, possibly due to the AIRS observational
filter effect, but are still statistically significant at
nighttime. We conclude that convective activity to the west
of the Great Lakes is the dominant source of GWs both at
ground level and within the stratosphere.},
