摘要: Vertical coupling by gravity waves (GWs) between the lower atmosphere and thermosphere is studied with a general circulation model (GCM) extending from tropopause to upper atmosphere. A newly developed nonlinear spectral GW parameterization, which accounts for wave propagation in highly dissipative thermosphere, has been implemented into Coupled Middle Atmosphere-Thermosphere-2 (CMAT2) GCM. In addition saturation, extended scheme considers dissipation suitable thermosphere-ionosphere, such as molecular viscosity thermal conduction, ion drag, eddy diffusivity, radiative damping. The results of simulations June solstice show that dynamical effects GWs are strong cannot be neglected thermosphere. At F region heights, momentum deposition comparable drag GW-induced heating/cooling competes high-latitude Joule heating.
