Carsten Eden (Universität Hamburg) Gravity waves in the atmosphere (and the ocean)

Carsten Eden (Universität Hamburg) wird auf unserem IAP-Kolloquium einen Vortrag zum Thema "Gravity waves in the atmosphere (and the ocean)" halten.

Zusammenfassung:

Internal gravity wave are of importance for the large-scale circulation of both atmosphere and ocean by e.g. its effect on the momentum by wave drag, and on density by mixing. It is demonstrated how to simulate the wave generation and propagation, and their interaction with themselves and the mean flow, using a hierarchy of analytical tools and models, including the identification of waves in models and observations. It is also demonstrated how this helps to develop gravity wave parameterizations, in particular the Internal wave Dissipation, Energy and Mixing (IDEMIX) model, which was recently implemented with good success in the ICON atmosphere and ocean models.
