abstract = {Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are a critically important
dynamical mechanism in the terrestrial atmosphere, with
significant effects on weather and climate. They are
geographically ubiquitous in the middle and upper
atmosphere, and thus, satellite observations are key to
characterising their properties and spatial distribution.
Nadir-viewing satellite instruments characterise the short
horizontal wavelength portion of the GW spectrum, which is
important for momentum transport; however, these
nadir-sensing instruments have coarse vertical resolutions.
This restricts our ability to characterise the 3D structure
of these waves accurately, with important implications for
our quantitative understanding of how these waves travel and
how they drive the atmospheric circulation when they break.
Here, we describe, implement and test a new spectral
analysis method to address this problem. This method is
optimised for the characterisation of waves in any
three-dimensional data set where one dimension is of coarse
resolution relative to variations in the wave field, a
description which applies to GW-sensing nadir-sounding
satellite instruments but which is also applicable in other
areas of science. We show that our new “2D + 1 ST”
method provides significant benefits relative to existing
spectrally isotropic methods for characterising such waves.
In particular, it is much more able to detect regional and
height variations in observed vertical wavelength and able
to properly characterise extremely vertically long waves
that extend beyond the data volume.},
