abstract = {Many gravity wave analyses, based on either observations or
model simulations, assume the presence of only a single
dominant wave. This paper shows that there are much more
complex cases with gravity waves from multiple sources
crossing each others' paths. A complex gravity wave
structure consisting of a superposition of multiple wave
packets was observed above southern Scandinavia on 28
January 2016 with the Gimballed Limb Observer for Radiance
Imaging of the Atmosphere (GLORIA). The tomographic
measurement capability of GLORIA enabled a detailed 3-D
reconstruction of the gravity wave field and the
identification of multiple wave packets with different
horizontal and vertical scales. The larger-scale gravity
waves with horizontal wavelengths of around 400 km could
be characterised using a 3-D wave-decomposition method. The
smaller-scale wave components with horizontal wavelengths
below 200 km were discussed by visual inspection. For the
larger-scale gravity wave components, a combination of
gravity-wave ray-tracing calculations and ERA5 reanalysis
fields identified orography as well as a jet-exit region and
a low-pressure system as possible sources. All gravity waves
are found to propagate upward into the middle stratosphere,
but only the orographic waves stay directly above their
source. The comparison with ERA5 also shows that ray tracing
provides reasonable results even for such complex cases with
multiple overlapping wave packets. Despite their coarser
vertical resolution compared to GLORIA measurements,
co-located AIRS measurements in the middle stratosphere are
in good agreement with the ray tracing and ERA5 results,
proving once more the validity of simple ray-tracing models.
Thus, this paper demonstrates that the high-resolution
GLORIA observations in combination with simple ray-tracing
calculations can provide an important source of information
for enhancing our understanding of gravity wave
propagation.},
