Orography-Induced Gravity Wave Drag Parameterization in the Global WRF: Implementation and Sensitivity to Shortwave Radiation Schemes

Figure 1

Three-winter ensemble averages (contours) of the zonal-mean zonal wind (upper panels) and temperature (lower panels) structures simulated from the (a), (d) Gsw_nGWD, (b), (e) Rsw_nGWD, and (c), (f) Dsw_nGWD experiments with the earlier version of global WRF without the KA GWDO implementation. Differences from the NCEP reanalysis (R2) are color shaded.
