Sensitivity of the quasi‐biennial oscillation simulated in WACCM to the phase speed spectrum and the settings in an inertial gravity wave parameterization

Abstract The application of inertial gravity wave parameterization has allowed for the spontaneous generation of quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM), although there is some mismatch when comparing with observations. The parameterization is based o...
