Analysis of gravity wave variability from SAC-C and CHAMP occultation profiles between June 2001 and March 2003
The gravity wave activity on a global scale between 10 and 27 km was analyzed by using temperature profiles retrieved from GPS occultation events detected with SAC-C and CHAMP satellites. Examples of its variability with altitude, longitude, latitude and time are presented for different wavelength r...
