• Parameterization of the effects of vertically propagating gravity waves for thermosphere general circulation models: Sensitivity study (2008, background): “[4] Since the early work of Lindzen [1981], a number of GW drag parameterizations have been developed [Matsuno, 1982; Holton, 1982; Fritts and Lu, 1993; Medvedev and Klaassen, 1995; Hines, 1997; Alexander and Dunkerton, 1999; Meyer, 1999a; Warner and McIntyre, 2001].”
• Absolute values of gravity wave momentum flux derived from satellite data (2004, methodology): “For this first comparison we use the Warner and McIntyre threepart ultrasimple GW parameterization scheme [Warner and McIntyre, 1996, 1999, 2001].”
• A comparison between gravity wave momentum fluxes in observations and climate models (2013, methodology): “HadGEM3 uses the Warner and McIntyre (2001) formulation and also uses a globally uniform gravity wave source function, while the GISS model uses the Alexander and Dunkerton (1999) formulation and uses a climatological gravity wave source function that notionally is meant to represent convective…”
• Toward a Physically Based Gravity Wave Source Parameterization in a General Circulation Model (2010, background): “Most gravity wave parameterizations in the past have focused on representing the effects of wave dissipation and have developed various criteria for wave dissipation (e.g., Lindzen 1981; Warner and McIntyre 2001; Alexander and Dunkerton 1999).”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, background): “Some examples of such schemes are the schemes introduced by Lindzen (1981), Hines (1997), Alexander and Dunkerton (1999), Warner and McIntyre (2001), Scinocca (2003), or Yigit et al. (2008).”
• Improved Middle Atmosphere Climate and Forecasts in the ECMWF Model through a Nonorographic Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization (2010, methodology): “…on the launch altitude, and they suggested that the choice of a (relatively) low altitude for the gravity wave launch spectrum (600 hPa) for the Warner and McIntyre (2001) scheme allowed the (unrealistic and constant) launch spectrum to be filtered as it propagated through the realistic…”
• 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): “Nevertheless, as shown in McLandress and Scinocca (2005), AD99 does not essentially differ from other spectral parameterizations (e.g., Hines 1997a,b; Warner and McIntyre 2001).”
• On the Intermittency of Gravity Wave Momentum Flux in the Stratosphere (2012, methodology): “2001); and nonorographic gravity wave drag parameterizations have been developed by implementing those spectral approaches (Hines 1997a,b; Warner and McIntyre 2001; Scinocca 2003).”
• An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, background): “In others, waves dissipate their amplitudes much more gradually with altitude (Weinstock, 1990; Medvedev and Klaassen, 2000; Warner and McIntyre, 2001).”
