• Global Ray Tracing Simulations of the SABER Gravity Wave Climatology (2009, background): “…of 25 D08126 intrinsic frequency ŵ approaches the buoyancy frequency and does not occur to any great extent for the mesoscale and long horizontal wavelength (>100 km) GWs observed by IR limb sounders considered in this study [see Kim et al., 2003; Fritts and Alexander, 2003; Preusse et al., 2008].”
• The deep propagating gravity wave experiment (deepwave): an airborne and ground-based exploration of gravity wave propagation and effects from their sources throughout the lower and middle atmosphere (2016, background): “…Liu 1981; Smith et al. 1987; Hines 1991; Lombard and Riley 1996; Sonmor and Klaassen 1997; Fritts et al. 2009); and 5) GW parameterizations for NWP and climate models (Lindzen 1981; Holton 1982; McFarlane 1987; Warner and McIntyre 1996; Hines 1997a,b; Kim et al. 2003; Fritts and Alexander 2003).”
• Implications for atmospheric dynamics derived from global observations of gravity wave momentum flux in stratosphere and mesosphere (2011, methodology): “Therefore, GCMs will have to rely on GWD parameterizations in the near and mid‐term future [e.g., Kim et al., 2003].”
• Exchange Processes in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Over Mountainous Terrain (2018, background): “In this respect, borrowing techniques from gravity wave drag parameterization [222] seems to be a promising approach.”
• Global Gravity Wave Variances from Aura MLS: Characteristics and Interpretation (2008, background): “…evolving baroclinic jet/frontal systems (e.g., Fritts et al. 2006), the relative contributions of these sources to the GW spectrum encountered in the middle atmosphere remains highly uncertain, particularly with respect to GWs radiated from jet imbalance (see, e.g., section 7h of Kim et al. 2003).”
• Mean and variable forcing of the middle atmosphere by gravity waves (2006, background): “But GWs generated by orography may also penetrate to much greater altitudes and influence the local and zonal mean structures of the stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere (Preusse et al., 2002; Jiang et al., 2002, 2003, 2004; Kim et al., 2003; Fritts and Alexander, 2003).”
• Using Satellite Observations to Constrain Parameterizations of Gravity Wave Effects for Global Models (2006, background): “A few models describe nonorographic waves emanating from specific sources (Rind et al. 1988; Shindell et al. 2001; see also Kim et al. 2003), including weather fronts (Charron and Manzini 2002) and convection (Chun et al. 2004; Beres 2004).”
• Internal wave coupling processes in Earth's atmosphere (2014, neutral): “Convective generation through various mechanisms, mostly in the tropics, is a source of fast and predominantly short GWs. Theoretical investigations that paved ways for parameterizing them in general circulation models are reviewed by Kim et al. (2003).”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, background): “Therefore most global models need gravity wave parametrization schemes (gravity wave drag schemes); see also McLandress (1998) or Kim et al. (2003) and references therein.”
