Wave dynamics and transport in the stratosphere

Abstract

Research concentrated on three major aspects of middle atmosphere dynamics: the role of gravity wave breaking in the momentum budget of the mesosphere, the roles of planetary waves in the transport of long lived chemical tracers, and the mixing and dispersion caused by planetary wave breaking in the winter hemisphere. Work began on a new initiative to develop a middle atmosphere version of the spectral eneral circulation model.
