Sensitivity study for mesoscale simulations of gravity waves above Antarctica during Vorcore
Abstract The observations from the Vorcore campaign (September 2005– January 2006) provide a unique dataset for the study of gravity waves in the lower stratosphere because of their wide coverage (150 000 observations from the South Pole to about 40 ° S) and of the quasi‐Lagrangian nature of the sup...
