• Modification of the Gravity Wave Parameterization in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model: Motivation and Results (2017, background): “The standard version of this parameterization, described by Richter et al. (2010), evaluates a frontogenesis function and launches a spectrum of gravity waves whenever the result exceeds a certain threshold.”
• 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].”
• Recent developments in gravity‐wave effects in climate models and the global distribution of gravity‐wave momentum flux from observations and models (2010, background): “This deficiency leads to a reduced number of stratospheric warmings (Richter et al., 2010).”
• Development and Validation of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model With Thermosphere and Ionosphere Extension (WACCM‐X 2.0) (2018, background): “Revision of parameterized nonorographic gravity wave forcing as described by Richter et al. (2010) and Garcia et al. (2017).”
• Dynamical Mechanism for the Increase in Tropical Upwelling in the Lowermost Tropical Stratosphere during Warm ENSO Events (2010, background): “2009), and gravity waves due to convective and frontal sources are parameterized based on the occurrence of convection and the diagnosis of regions of frontogenesis in the model (Richter et al. 2010).”
• A comparison between gravity wave momentum fluxes in observations and climate models (2013, background): “More sophisticated constraints have involved realistic modeling of the frequency of stratospheric warmings (e.g., Richter et al. 2010), obtaining a realistic quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) (e.g., Scaife et al. 2000) and having a realistic stratospheric transport circulation (e.g., Shepherd 2007),…”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, methodology): “These schemes were successfully used in GCMs (e.g., Richter et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2013).”
• An Evaluation of the Large‐Scale Atmospheric Circulation and Its Variability in CESM2 and Other CMIP Models (2020, methodology): “Furthermore, the turbulent orographic form drag (TOFD) scheme has been updated from the Turbulent Mountain Stress (TMS, Richter et al., 2010) parameterization to that of Beljaars et al. (2004).”
• An Overview of the Atmospheric Component of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (2019, methodology): “The gravity wave (GW) parameterization in EAMv1 is the same as that described in Richter et al. (2010).”
