Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, background): “…generated waves, several mechanisms have been proposed over the past two decades to explain waves generated by moist convection [Clark et al., 1986; Fovell et al., 1992; Alexander et al., 1995; Lane et al., 2001], paving the way for their parameterizations in general circulation models.”
Sources of the traveling ionospheric disturbances observed by the ionospheric TIDDBIT sounder near Wallops Island on 30 October 2007 (2010, background): “[7] Many non‐linear models [Piani et al., 2000; Horinouchi et al., 2002; Lane et al., 2001, 2003] and linear models [Stull, 1976; Salby and Garcia, 1987; Alexander et al., 1995; Walterscheid et al., 2001; Beres, 2004] of GW excitation from deep convection have been developed.”
Mean and variable forcing of the middle atmosphere by gravity waves (2006, background): “, 1993a, b; Alexander and Vincent, 2000; Vincent and Alexander, 2000), and (3) a ‘‘mechanical oscillator’’ effect in which oscillatory convective plumes project those periods onto the GW field (Fovell et al., 1992; Lane et al., 2001).”
Thermospheric responses to gravity waves arising from mesoscale convective complexes (2004, background): “The largest vertical wavelengths (and phase speeds) also are favored by deep convection (Salby and Garcia, 1987), and the most energetic waves are excited by the most intense convection having the strongest heating and the largest vertical motions (Piani et al., 2000; Lane et al., 2001).”
Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds (2008, background): “…could penetrate to mesospheric and lower thermospheric (MLT) altitudes and have corresponding TI responses (Alexander et al., 1995; Piani et al., 2000; Lane et al., 2001; Lane and Clark, 2002; Horinouchi et al., 2002; Vadas and Fritts, 2004, 2006, hereafter VF06; Vadas, 2007, hereafter V07).”
Toward a Physically Based Gravity Wave Source Parameterization in a General Circulation Model (2010, methodology): “The modeling studies by Fovell et al. (1992), Alexander and Holton (1997), Lane et al. (2001), and Piani and Durran (2001) have shown that GW properties such as horizontal wavelength, frequency, and momentum flux phase speed spectra vary from simulation to simulation and are dependent on the…”
Implementation of a gravity wave source spectrum parameterization dependent on the properties of convection in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) (2005, background): “In several numerical studies [Fovell et al., 1992; Lane et al., 2001], a connection has been made between wave properties and the nonlinear forcing terms in the momentum equations.”
Concentric gravity waves in the mesosphere generated by deep convective plumes in the lower atmosphere near Fort Collins, Colorado (2009, background): “This rapid motion causes the excitation of a spectrum of gravity waves with widely varying spatial scales and frequencies [Alexander et al., 1995; Lane et al., 2001, 2003].”
Generation of large-scale gravity waves and neutral winds in the thermosphere from the dissipation of convectively generated gravity waves (2009, background): “[8] Many nonlinear models of GW excitation from convection have been developed [Piani et al., 2000; Horinouchi et al., 2002; Lane et al., 2001, 2003].”
An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, background): “From these studies it has emerged that the waves radiated from convection seem to be interpretable using linear gravity wave theory (e.g., Alexander, 1996; Pandya and Alexander, 1999; Lane et al., 2001), which greatly simplifies their parametrization.”
A Numerical Study of Three-Dimensional Gravity Waves Triggered by Deep Tropical Convection and Their Role in the Dynamics of the QBO (2000, result): “Similar results, in which numerically simulated, convectively generated stratospheric gravity waves were associated with a nonzero vertical momentum-flux divergence, were obtained by Lane et al. (2000).”
Inertia gravity wave generation by the tropospheric midlatitude jet as given by the Fronts and Atlantic Storm‐Track Experiment radio soundings (2003, background): “, 1989], convection [Fovell et al., 1992; Pfister et al., 1993; Lane et al., 2001] and geostrophic adjustment [Van Tuyl and Young, 1982; Uccelini and Koch, 1987; Fritts and Luo, 1992; O’Sullivan and Dunkerton, 1995].”
