• Recent developments in gravity‐wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity‐wave momentum flux from observations and models (2010, methodology): “The characteristic propagation results in the westward forcing having a peak near 50◦–60◦S that maintains the characteristic double-peak structure of the mesospheric westerlies (Sato et al., 2009; Watanabe et al., 2009).”
• Gravity Wave Characteristics in the Southern Hemisphere Revealed by a High-Resolution Middle-Atmosphere General Circulation Model (2012, methodology): “These model data were also used to examine the fine structure of the tropopause and stratopause (Miyazaki et al. 2010a,b; Tomikawa et al. 2008), and 4-day wave dynamics in the mesosphere (Watanabe et al. 2009).”
• Is Missing Orographic Gravity Wave Drag near 60°S the Cause of the Stratospheric Zonal Wind Biases in Chemistry–Climate Models? (2012, background): “However, high-resolution model simulations of the SH polar vortex indicate that resolved small-scale gravity waves also propagate meridionally and are focused into the jet core as they propagate up into the stratosphere (Sato et al. 2009).”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, background): “…gravity waves only in the vertical direction, while in a real atmosphere gravity waves can also propagate horizontally (e.g., Marks and Eckermann, 1995; Sato et al., 2009, 2012; Preusse et al., 2009b; Ern et al., 2013; Kalisch et al., 2014; Hindley et al., 2015; Ribstein and Achatz, 2016).”
• Implications for atmospheric dynamics derived from global observations of gravity wave momentum flux in stratosphere and mesosphere (2011, result): “This poleward shift is in excellent agreement with GW ray‐tracing simulations showing that GWs generated in the subtropics are refracted toward higher latitudes [e.g., Preusse et al., 2009b; Sato et al., 2009].”
• The Roles of Equatorial Trapped Waves and Internal Inertia–Gravity Waves in Driving the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation. Part I: Zonal Mean Wave Forcing (2010, methodology): “Recently, we conducted experiments with a much higher resolution AGCM (T213L256; from the surface to ~85 km; see details in the next section) to investigate interesting phenomena related to middle-atmosphere dynamics (Watanabe et al. 2008; Tomikawa et al. 2008; Watanabe et al. 2009; Sato et al. 2009”
• Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, methodology): “This can be interpreted as a signature of significant sources (orographic and nonorographic) in the winter midlatitudes but also as the signature of favored propagation within the positive shear of the strong stratospheric westerlies [Dunkerton, 1984; Sato et al., 2009; Ern and Preusse, 2011].”
• A comparison between gravity wave momentum fluxes in observations and climate models (2013, background): “All gravity waves are spontaneously generated in the Kanto model and propagate three dimensionally, governed by inherent wave dynamics (Sato et al. 2009).”
