[1] We present an observational study of stratospheric gravity wave spectra and seasonal variations of potential energy density at the South Pole (90°S) and Rothera (67.5°S, 68.0°W), Antarctica. The gravity wave spectra are derived from the atmospheric relative density perturbation in the altitude r...
