abstract = {Four state-of-the-science numerical weather prediction
(NWP) models were used to perform mountain wave- (MW)
resolving hind-casts over the Drake Passage of a 10-day
period in 2010 with numerous observed MW cases. The
Integrated Forecast System (IFS) and the Icosahedral
Nonhydrostatic (ICON) model were run at Δx ≈ 9 and 13 km
globally. TheWeather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model
and the Met Office Unified Model (UM) were both configured
with a Δx = 3 km regional domain. All domains had tops near
1 Pa (z ≈ 80 km). These deep domains allowed quantitative
validation against Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS)
observations, accounting for observation time, viewing
geometry, and radiative transfer.All models reproduced
observed middle-atmosphere MWs with remarkable skill.
Increased horizontal resolution improved validations. Still,
all models underrepresented observed MW amplitudes, even
after accounting for model effective resolution and
instrument noise, suggesting even at Δx ≈ 3 km
resolution, small-scale MWs are under-resolved and/or
over-diffused. MWdrag parameterizations are still necessary
in NWP models at current operational resolutions of Δx ≈
10 km. Upper GW sponge layers in the operationally
configured models significantly, artificially reduced MW
amplitudes in the upper stratosphere and mesosphere. In the
IFS, parameterized GW drags partly compensated this
deficiency, but still, total drags were ≈ 6 time smaller
than that resolved at Δx ≈ 3 km. Meridionally propagating
MWs significantly enhance zonal drag over the Drake Passage.
Interestingly, drag associated with meridional fluxes of
zonal momentum (i.e. u'v') were important; not accounting
for these terms results in a drag in the wrong direction at
and below the polar night jet.},
