Realistic Simulation of Tropical Atmospheric Gravity Waves Using Radar‐Observed Precipitation Rate and Echo Top Height
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems"
DOI: 10.1029/2019ms001949
Abstract: Gravity waves (GWs) generated by tropical convection are important for the simulation of large‐scale atmospheric circulations, for example, the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO), and small‐scale phenomena like clear‐air turbulence. However, the simulation of these waves still… read more here.
