GROGRAT: A new model of the global propagation and dissipation of atmospheric gravity waves

We describe the most recent version of the G ravity-wave R egional O r G lobal Ra y T racer (GROGRAT), a r raytracing model of the propagation and amplitude evolution of gravity waves within any gridded numerical representation of the Earth's lower and/or middle atmosphere. Here we describe new...

Zusammenfassung:We describe the most recent version of the G ravity-wave R egional O r G lobal Ra y T racer (GROGRAT), a r raytracing model of the propagation and amplitude evolution of gravity waves within any gridded numerical representation of the Earth's lower and/or middle atmosphere. Here we describe new features of the GROGRAT code and some recent results, including a global simulation using the CIRA-86 climatological middle atmosphere and some preliminary simulations of regional mountain-wave activity.
