Project 1.1 Changes in wave sources
From CAWSES
- Co-leaders: Kaoru Sato (JP), Jadwiga (Yaga) H. Richter (US)
Goal
To assess changes in GW sources in response to a changing climate
Tools
1. GCMs with parameterized GW sources: comparison of parameterized waves in long-term simulations (convection, fronts, orography)
2. High resolution GCMs (~25 km): look at changes in frontally and orographically excited waves in long-term simulations
3. Radar and Lidar Observations: look at trends in GWs in the MLT and compare to models
