• Global Gravity Wave Variances from Aura MLS: Characteristics and Interpretation (2008, background): “As with other GW-resolving satellite sensors (Alex-ander 1998; McLandress et al. 2000; Preusse et al. 2002; Jiang et al. 2004a; Wu 2004; Eckermann and Wu 2006), interpreting Aura MLS variances requires a comprehensive understanding of the instrument’s sensitivity to GWs of different wavelengths and…”
• Implications for atmospheric dynamics derived from global observations of gravity wave momentum flux in stratosphere and mesosphere (2011, methodology): “ment with GW ray‐tracing simulations by, for example, Preusse et al. [2009b] or Sato et al. [2009]. These studies both indicate a poleward propagation of GWs of about 15°”
• Absolute values of gravity wave momentum flux derived from satellite data (2004, background): “In a case study [Preusse et al., 2002] a wave with a horizontal wavelength of 130 km was inferred from several overpasses of the same region.”
• Recent developments in gravity‐wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity‐wave momentum flux from observations and models (2010, methodology): “In this geometry the instrument views slightly downward towards the Earth’s horizon, through the atmosphere and into cold space (Preusse et al., 2002).”
• Gravity Wave Characteristics in the Southern Hemisphere Revealed by a High-Resolution Middle-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (2012, methodology): “The possible horizontal propagation of gravity waves forced by the topography of the southern Andes was discussed by Preusse et al. (2002).”
• Global estimates of gravity wave momentum flux from High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder observations (2008, background): “They can therefore exclude many short horizontal wavelength waves [Preusse et al., 2002].”
• Improved Middle Atmosphere Climate and Forecasts in the ECMWF Model through a Nonorographic Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization (2010, background): “Due to data processing and limb geometry, CRISTA2 only observes gravity waves with horizontal wavelengths between about 100 and 5000 km and vertical wavelengths between about 6 and 30 km, and it thus may underestimate the total gravity wave momentum flux (see Preusse et al. 2002).”
• On the origins of mesospheric gravity waves (2009, background): “and the importance of wavenumber modification by Preusse et al. [2002]. The focusing of gravity waves with positive r0u0w0 into the easterly jet in summer is also understood with this mechanism.”
• Estimation of Gravity Wave Momentum Flux and Phase Speeds from Quasi-Lagrangian Stratospheric Balloon Flights. Part II: Results from the Vorcore Campaign in Antarctica (2008, background): “The dashed area corresponds to horizontal wavelengths that can be resolved by CRISTA-1 if gravity waves propagate at favorable angles with respect to the instrument line of sight (Preusse et al. 2002; Ern et al. 2004).”
• Mean and variable forcing of the middle atmosphere by gravity waves (2006, background): “But unlike convection, mountain waves have phase speeds near zero and thus penetrate to high altitudes only when sufficiently nonzero winds (along the plane of propagation) extend throughout the atmospheric column, a process that appears to occur at only a few preferred sites (Jiang et al., 2002; Pr”
• Retrieval of stratospheric temperatures from Atmospheric Infrared Sounder radiance measurements for gravity wave studies (2009, background): “of the needed wave properties have been determined in some case studies of mountain waves observed from space [Eckermann and Preusse, 1999; Preusse et al., 2002; Alexander and Teitelbaum, 2007; Eckermann et al., 2007].”
