GWING
Gravity Wave Interactions in the Global Atmosphere
(Schmidt, Zängl, Manzini)
The central goal of this project is the development and application of the upper-atmosphere extension of the atmospheric general circulation model ICON (UA-ICON), with local refinement option, to optimize the representation of GW. With UA-ICON the GWING project is integrating new knowledge generated by MS-GWaves as a whole. It will investigate the impact of GWs on weather and climate, and the corresponding relevance of GW features neglected in classical parameterizations.
