International audience A case study of a large-amplitude orographic gravity wave occurring over the Antarctic Peninsula is presented, based on observations from the Vorcore balloon campaign and on mesoscale numerical simulations. The Vorcore campaign (September 2005 to February 2006) consisted in th...
