abstract = {We present a new version of the HIgh Altitude Mechanistic
general Circulation Model (HIAMCM) with specified dynamics.
We utilize a spectral method that nudges only the
large-scale flow to MERRA-2 reanalysis. The nudged HIAMCM
simulates gravity waves (GWs) down to horizontal wavelengths
of about 200 km from the troposphere to the thermosphere
like the free-running model, including the generation of
secondary and tertiary GWs. Case studies show that the
simulated large-scale GWs are consistent with those in the
reanalysis, while the medium-scale GWs compare well with
observations in the northern winter 2016 stratosphere from
the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS). GWs having
wavelengths larger than about 1350 km can be described with
the nonlinear balance equation. The GWs relevant in the
stratosphere, however, have smaller scales and require a
different approach. We propose that the GW amplification due
to kinetic energy transfer from the large-scale flow
combined with GW potential energy flux convergence helps to
identify the mesoscale GW sources due to spontaneous
emission. The GW amplification is strongest in the region of
maximum large-scale vertical wind shear in the
mid-stratosphere. Maps of the time-averaged stratospheric GW
activity simulated by the HIAMCM and computed from AIRS
satellite data show a persistent hot spot over Europe during
January 2016. At about 40 km, the average GW amplitudes are
maximum in the region of fastest large-scale flow. We argue
that refraction of GWs originating in the troposphere, as
well as GWs from spontaneous emission in the stratosphere
contribute to this effect.},
