Modification of the Gravity Wave Parameterization in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model: Motivation and Results (2017, background): “…three different sources of gravity waves are included in WACCM: stationary waves generated by ﬂow over orography (McFarlane 1987), waves with a spectrum of phase speeds generated by convection (Beres et al. 2005), and waves with a spectrum of phase speeds generated by fronts (Richter et al. 2010).”
Toward a Physically Based Gravity Wave Source Parameterization in a General Circulation Model (2010, methodology): “The Beres et al. (2004) convective source parameterization was implemented in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, version 2 (WACCM2) (Beres et al. 2005), replacing the arbitrarily specified source spectrum in the tropics.”
