First tomographic observations of gravity waves by the infrared limb imager GLORIA
Atmospheric gravity waves are a major cause of uncertainty in global atmospheric models. This uncertainty affects regional climate projections and seasonal weather predictions. Improving the representation of gravity waves in global atmospheric models, is therefore of primary interest. In this regar...
