abstract = {In model cycle 35r3 (Cy35r3) of the ECMWF Integrated
Forecast System (IFS), the momentum deposition from
small-scale nonorographic gravity waves is parameterized by
the Scinocca scheme, which uses hydrostatic nonrotational
wave dynamics to describe the vertical evolution of a broad,
constant, and isotropic spectrum of gravity waves emanating
from the troposphere. The Cy35r3 middle atmosphere climate
shows the following: (i) an improved representation of the
zonal-mean circulation and temperature structure; (ii) a
realistic parameterized gravity wave drag; (iii) a
reasonable stationary planetary wave structure and
stationary wave driving in July and an underestimate of the
generation of stationary wave activity in the troposphere
and stationary wave driving in January; (iv) an improved
representation of the tropical variability of the
stratospheric circulation, although the westerly phase of
the semiannual oscillation is missing; and (v) a realistic
horizontal distribution of momentum flux in the
stratosphere. By contrast, the middle atmosphere climate is
much too close to radiative equilibrium when the Scinocca
scheme is replaced by Rayleigh friction, which was the
standard method of parameterizing the effects of
nonorographic gravity waves in the IFS prior to Cy35r3.
Finally, there is a reduction in Cy35r3 short-range
high-resolution forecast error in the upper stratosphere.},
