We present a new version of the high‐resolution Kühlungsborn Mechanistic general
Circulation Model (KMCM) extended to z∼ 450 km. This model is called HIAMCM (HI …

The southern part of South America and the Antarctic peninsula are known as the world's
strongest hotspot region of stratospheric gravity wave (GW) activity. Large tropospheric …

We examine the characteristics of secondary gravity waves (GWs) excited by a localized (in
space) and intermittent (in time) body force in the atmosphere. This force is a horizontal …

Imbalance refers to the departure from the large-scale primarily vortical flows in the
atmosphere and ocean whose motion is governed by a balance of Coriolis, pressure …

This note discusses the relation between our knowledge of gravity waves and the
parameterization of their effects in global models. Improving these parameterizations …

We investigate the effects on the mesosphere and thermosphere from a strong mountain
wave (MW) event over the wintertime Southern Andes using a gravity wave (GW)‐resolving …

We analyze the results of the gravity wave (GW)‐resolving, high‐resolution Kühlungsborn
Mechanistic general Circulation Model in July at McMurdo Station (166.69° E and 77.84° S) …

Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are key drivers of the atmospheric circulation, but their
representation in general circulation models (GCMs) is challenging, leading to significant …

A strong mountain wave, observed over Central Europe on 12 January 2016, is simulated in
2D under two fixed background wind conditions representing opposite tidal phases. The aim …

The stratosphere contains~ 17% of Earth's atmospheric mass, but its existence was
unknown until 1902. In the following decades our knowledge grew gradually as more …
