Gravity Wave Characteristics in the Southern Hemisphere Revealed by a High-Resolution Middle-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (2012, background): “Spontaneous adjustment of imbalance around the polar night jet (Sato and Yoshiki 2008) and jet–front systems (Shibata et al. 2003; Zhang 2004; Plougonven and Snyder 2007) as well as generation from strong katabatic winds in the Antarctic (Watanabe et al. 2006) are possible candidates.”
Gravity Wave Generation around the Polar Vortex in the Stratosphere Revealed by 3-Hourly Radiosonde Observations at Syowa Station (2008, background): “Zhang (2004), Plougonven and Snyder (2007), and Wang and Zhang (2007) used a nonhydrostatic regional model to examine mesoscale gravity wave generation in upper-tropospheric jet–front systems.”
Recent developments in gravity‐wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity‐wave momentum flux from observations and models (2010, background): “These effects may be due to the gravity waves excited by spontaneous adjustment around jet–frontal systems (O’Sullivan and Dunkerton, 1995; Kawatani et al. 2004; Zhang, 2004; Plougonven and Snyder, 2007; Sugimoto et al. 2008; Sato and Yoshiki, 2008; Tateno and Sato, 2008).”
Evaluation of Global Atmospheric Solvers Using Extensions of the Jablonowski and Williamson Baroclinic Wave Test Case (2013, background): “…have been performed inmany other studies, for example Simmons and Hoskins (1978, hereafter SH78) on the sphere, and Snyder et al. (1991), Rotunno et al. (1994), Whitaker and Davis (1994, hereafter WD94), Zhang (2004), Plougonven and Snyder (2007), and Waite and Snyder (2009) in a periodic channel.”
Mesoscale to Submesoscale Transition in the California Current System. Part II: Frontal Processes (2008, background): “This contrasts with spontaneous gravity wave emission by tropopause jet streaks in the atmosphere (Zhang 2004).7 In more general terms, the submesoscale flow can exhibit locally significant unbalanced behavior, either by essentially balanced processes (e.g., baroclinic instability) that develop…”
Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, background): “…tropospheric and lower stratospheric observations have often emphasized the presence of both upward and downward waves from the jet as a clear signature of emission by the jet [Hirota and Niki, 1986; Sato, 1989; Thomas et al., 1999; Plougonven et al., 2003; Wu and Zhang, 2004; Spiga et al., 2008].”
Balance and Spontaneous Wave Generation in Geophysical Flows (2013, result): “This result, initially controversial because of its apparent sensitivity to numerical resolution, has been confirmed and refined in several subsequent studies (Zhang 2004, Plougonven & Snyder 2005, Viùdez & Dritschel 2006, Plougonven & Snyder 2007).”
Toward a Physically Based Gravity Wave Source Parameterization in a General Circulation Model (2010, methodology): “…waves are generated by a variety of sources including orography (e.g., Lilly and Kennedy 1973; Dörnbrack et al. 1999), convection (e.g., Dewan et al. 1998; Piani and Durran 2001), and geostrophic adjustment in regions of baroclinic instability (e.g., O’Sullivan and Dunkerton 1995; Zhang 2004).”
On the origins of mesospheric gravity waves (2009, background): “[O’Sullivan and Dunkerton, 1995; Zhang, 2004; Plougonven and Snyder, 2007; Sugimoto et al., 2008; Sato and Yoshiki, 2008].”
Inertia–Gravity Waves Spontaneously Generated by Jets and Fronts. Part I: Different Baroclinic Life Cycles (2007, methodology): “This wave packet is very similar to the mesoscale waves described by Zhang (2004) in idealized simulations of baroclinic instability using a similar initial jet, and we will call it the Zhang wave packet.”
