Some experimental constraints for spectral parameters used in the Warner and McIntyre gravity wave parameterization scheme

In order to incorporate the effect of gravity waves (GWs) on the atmospheric circulation most global circulation models (GCMs) employ gravity wave parameterization schemes. To date, GW parameterization schemes in GCMs are used without experimental validation of the set of global parameters assumed f...
