Parameterizing Wave‐Driven Vertical Constituent Transport in the Upper Atmosphere

Abstract Dissipating waves contribute to vertical mixing of the atmosphere, alter molecular and eddy diffusion, and induce chemical transport of reactive species. These processes induce strong vertical transport of atmospheric constituents in regions where wave dissipation is significant. The effect...
