abstract = {Three-dimensional measurements of gravity waves are
required in order to quantify their direction-resolved
momentum fluxes and obtain a better understanding of their
propagation characteristics. Such 3-D measurements of
gravity waves in the lowermost stratosphere have been
provided by the airborne Gimballed Limb Observer for
Radiance Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA) using full angle
tomography. Closed flight patterns of sufficient size are
needed to acquire the full set of angular measurements for
full angle tomography. These take about 2h and are not
feasible everywhere due to scientific reasons or air traffic
control restrictions. Hence, this paper investigates the
usability of limited angle tomography for gravity wave
research based on synthetic observations. Limited angle
tomography uses only a limited set of angles for tomographic
reconstruction and can be applied to linear flight patterns.
A synthetic end-to-end simulation has been performed to
investigate the sensitivity of limited angle tomography to
gravity waves with different wavelengths and orientations
with respect to the flight path. For waves with wavefronts
roughly perpendicular to the flight path, limited angle
tomography and full angle tomography can derive wave
parameters like wavelength, amplitude, and wave orientation
with similar accuracy. For waves with a horizontal
wavelength above 200km and vertical wavelength above 3km,
the wavelengths can be retrieved with less than $10\%$
error, the amplitude with less than $20\%$ error, and the
horizontal wave direction with an error below 10°. This is
confirmed by a comparison of results obtained from full
angle tomography and limited angle tomography for real
measurements taken on 25 January 2016 over Iceland. The
reproduction quality of gravity wave parameters with limited
angle tomography, however, depends strongly on the
orientation of the waves with respect to the flight path.
Thus, full angle tomography might be preferable in cases in
which the orientation of the wave cannot be predicted or
waves with different orientations exist in the same volume
and thus the flight path cannot be adjusted accordingly.
Also, for low-amplitude waves and short-scale waves full
angle tomography has advantages due to its slightly higher
resolution and accuracy.},
