• Implications for atmospheric dynamics derived from global observations of gravity wave momentum flux in stratosphere and mesosphere (2011, methodology): “They vary from model to model and are also different in different hemispheres [e.g., Manzini and McFarlane, 1998; Mieth et al., 2004; Watanabe et al., 2008; Richter et al., 2010; Orr et al., 2010].”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, background): “At the time of writing, gravity wave parametrization schemes are still needed even for state-of-the-art high-resolution numerical weather prediction models (e.g., Orr et al., 2010), and also in the foreseeable future gravity wave parametrization schemes will still be required.”
• The ERA5 global reanalysis (2020, background): “…uses a globally uniform wave spectrum, and propagates it vertically through changing horizontal winds and air density, thereby representing the wave breaking effects and associated drag due to critical level filtering and nonlinear dissipation in the stratosphere and mesosphere (Orr et al., 2010).”
• Vortex Preconditioning due to Planetary and Gravity Waves prior to Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (2014, background): “These waves may indeed represent an important source of polar vortex variability as they make an important contribution to the total wave forcing above about 40 km (Scinocca 2003; McLandress and Scinocca 2005; Orr et al. 2010) and thus represent an important avenue for future research.”
• The pros and cons of diffusion, filters and fixers in Atmospheric General Circulation Models (2011, unknown): “Such a profile has for example been defined in Boville and Randel (1986) and was the default in the ECMWF model IFS until September 2009 (Orr and Wedi 2009; Orr et al. 2010).”
• From ERA-Interim to ERA5: considerable impact of ECMWF's next-generation reanalysis on Lagrangian transport simulations (2018, background): “A different representation of gravity waves and the QBO in ERA5 (Orr et al., 2010) may explain the differences seen in the tropical zonal winds.”
• ERA‐20CM: a twentieth‐century atmospheric model ensemble (2015, background): “…13(a)) which is shorter than the period of 2.4 years in ERA-Interim (Figure 13(b), also Dee et al., 2011), but longer than that found in Cy35r3 by Orr et al. (2010), who ascribed this error to an excessive amount of parametrized momentum flux near the Equator and weak tropical upwelling…”
