A New Coupled Weather and Wave Model for Gravity Wave Propagation from Troposphere Weather Systems Deep into the Ionosphere
Abstract
The long-term goal is to develop a new forecasting tool to predict outbreaks of ionospheric disturbances that are driven from below by weather-generated gravity waves. The forecasting tool will combine three coupled models: a weather model to simulate weather events such as convection in thunderstorms and their generation of gravity waves; a wave propagation model to follow those gravity waves from their generation by weather events to altitudes throughout the thermosphere; and an ionospheric model to predict the ionospheric disturbances produced by the gravity waves.
