• 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): “Nadir measurements [e.g., Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS)] extend to relatively small GW λh, but these often fail to capture the smaller-λh GW responses inferred to contribute the largest local momentum fluxes (Fritts et al. 2002, 2014; Hertzog et al. 2012).”
• Interaction of gravity waves with the QBO: A satellite perspective (2014, methodology): “The red curves represent lognormal distributions with the same mean and standard deviation as the observed momentum fluxes in the respective month [see also Hertzog et al., 2012].”
• Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, methodology): “For example, the intermittency of the wave field also matters, and this may be described through the probability distribution function of the momentum fluxes [Hertzog et al., 2012].”
• Modification of the Gravity Wave Parameterization in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model: Motivation and Results (2017, background): “…Ocean appears to be associated with nonorographic sources, such as storms tracks in the troposphere; and several observational studies have documented large, intermittent momentum fluxes over the Southern Ocean (Hertzog et al. 2012; Wright et al. 2013; Alexander 2015; Jewtoukoff et al. 2015).”
• GRACILE: a comprehensive climatology of atmospheric gravity wave parameters based on satellite limb soundings (2017, background): “Another recent development is so-called stochastic schemes (e.g., Eckermann, 2011; Lott et al., 2012; de la Cámara and Lott, 2015) which mimic the observed intermittent nature of gravity wave sources (e.g., Hertzog et al., 2008, 2012; Wright et al., 2013) in a simplified fashion.”
