abstract = {Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are key drivers of the
atmospheric circulation, but their representation in general
circulation models (GCMs) is challenging, leading to
significant biases in middle atmospheric circulations.
Unresolved GW momentum transport in GCMs must be
parameterized, but global directional GW observations are
needed to constrain this. Here we present an 18‐year
climatology of directional stratospheric GW momentum flux
(GWMF) from global AIRS/Aqua 3‐D satellite observations
during 2002 to 2019. Striking hemispheric asymmetries are
found at high latitudes, including dramatic reductions and
reversals of GWMF during sudden stratospheric warmings.
During Southern Hemisphere winter, a lateral convergence of
GWMF toward 60°S is found that has no Northern Hemisphere
counterpart. In the tropics, we find that zonal GWMF in AIRS
measurements is strongly modulated by the semiannual
oscillation (SAO) but not the quasi‐biennial oscillation
(QBO). Our results provide guidance for future GW
parameterizations needed to resolve long‐standing biases
in GCMs.},
