Large-amplitude gravity waves above the southern Andes, the Drake Passage, and the Antarctic Peninsula

Above the southern Andes range and its prolongation in the Antarctic Peninsula, large-amplitude mountain and shear gravity waves observed with Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model simulations during winter 2009 are analyzed. Two specific reasons motivated this study: (1) a decade o...
