Diurnal Variation Of Gravity Wave Momentum Flux And Its Forcing On The Diurnal Tide, Alan Z. Liu, Xian Lu, Steven Franke
Alan Z Liu
The diurnal variation of gravity wave (GW) momentum flux is derived from the 5 years of meteor radar wind measurements at Maui, Hawaii. The amplitude and phase relationships between the GW forcing and the diurnal tide are analyzed by calculating their equivalent Rayleigh frictions. The results show that the GW momentum flux is clearly modulated by the diurnal tide. The forcing from the momentum flux convergence has strong effects on both the amplitude and phase of the diurnal tide. They can reach 80 ms ‚àí‚Äâ1 day ‚àí‚Äâ1 for the amplitude and 15 h day ‚àí‚Äâ1 for the phase. The GW …
