abstract = {We analyze the gravity waves (GWs) observed by a Rayleigh
lidar at the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere
Research (ALOMAR) (16.08°E, 69.38°N) in Norway at z ∼
20–85 km on 12–14 January 2016. These GWs propagate
upward and downward away from zknee = 57 and 64 km at a
horizontally-displaced location with periods τr ∼ 5–10
hr and vertical wavelengths λz ∼ 9–20 km. Because the
hodographs are distorted, we introduce an alternative method
to determine the GW parameters. We find that these GWs are
medium to large-scale, and propagate north/northwestward
with intrinsic horizontal phase speeds of ∼35–65 m/s.
Since the GW parameters are similar above and below zknee,
these are secondary GWs created by local body forces (LBFs)
south/southeast of ALOMAR. We use the nudged HIAMCM (HIgh
Altitude Mechanistic general Circulation Model) to model
these events. Remarkably, the model reproduces similar GW
structures over ALOMAR, with zknee = 58 and 66 km. The event
#1 GWs are created by a LBF at ∼35°E, ∼60°N, and z ∼
58 km. This LBF is created by the breaking and dissipation
of primary GWs generated and amplified by the imbalance of
the polar night jet below the wind maximum; the primary GWs
for this event are created at z ∼ 25–35 km at
49–53°N. We also find that the HIAMCM GWs agree well with
those observed by the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS)
satellite, and that those AIRS GWs south and north of
∼50°N over Europe are mainly mountain waves and GWs from
the polar vortex, respectively.},
