• Interaction of gravity waves with the QBO: A satellite perspective (2014, background): “…theoretical considerations: Close to the critical level (before saturation occurs) the amplitude growth of a gravity wave is proportional to |u − c|−1∕2 [see Lindzen, 1981; Randel and Wu, 2005, Appendix A], with u the zonal mean zonal wind and c the ground-based phase speed of the gravity wave.”
• The COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 Mission: Early Results (2008, background): “Previous analyses of tropical RO data have shown that this variability is realistic and associated with large-and small-scale waves near the tropical tropopause, tied to transient tropical convection (Randel et al. 2003; Randel and Wu 2005).”
• Observational characteristics of double tropopauses (2007, background): “large amplitude Kelvin waves, Randel and Wu, 2005 ].”
• Global Gravity Wave Variances from Aura MLS: Characteristics and Interpretation (2008, background): “…periods of strong QBO east-erlies and indicate that wave variances are suppressed immediately above in descending westerly QBO shear zones (Eckermann et al. 1995; Sato and Dunkerton 1997; Vincent and Alexander 2000; Randel and Wu 2005; Wu 2006; de la Torre et al. 2006; Krebsbach and Preusse 2007).”
• Tropical tropopause layer (2009, background): “…increase in static stability, and temperature soundings often suggest an abrupt increase of wave amplitude above the tropopause, with multiple minima that often make the actual tropopause difficult to locate in individual soundings [e.g., Selkirk, 1993; Reid and Gage, 1996; Randel and Wu, 2005].”
