abstract = {Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are generated in the lower
atmosphere by various weather phenomena. They propagate
upward, carry energy and momentum to higher altitudes, and
appreciably influence the general circulation upon
depositing them in the middle and upper atmosphere. We use a
three-dimensional first-principle general circulation model
(GCM) with implemented nonlinear whole atmosphere GW
parameterization to study the global climatology of wave
activity and produced effects at altitudes up to the upper
thermosphere. The numerical experiments were guided by the
GW momentum fluxes and temperature variances as measured in
2010 by the SABER (Sounding of the Atmosphere using
Broadband Emission Radiometry) instrument onboard NASA’s
TIMED (Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics
Dynamics) satellite. This includes the latitudinal
dependence and magnitude of GW activity in the lower
stratosphere for the boreal summer season. The modeling
results were compared to the SABER temperature and total
absolute momentum flux and Upper Atmosphere Research
Satellite (UARS) data in the mesosphere and lower
thermosphere. Simulations suggest that, in order to
reproduce the observed circulation and wave activity in the
middle atmosphere, GW fluxes that are smaller than observed
fluxes have to be used at the source level in the lower
atmosphere. This is because observations contain a broader
spectrum of GWs, while parameterizations capture only a
portion relevant to the middle and upper atmosphere
dynamics. Accounting for the latitudinal variations of the
source appreciably improves simulations},
