I have investigated in detail gravity wave generation by convection and have subsequently developed a source spectrum parameterization for convectively generated gravity waves that can be used in General Circulation Models (GCMs). This new parameterization has now been implemented in NCAR's Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM).
Recently, I have been investigating the structure of, generation mechanisms, and influence of the two-day wave on the circulation in WACCM and investigating its interaction with parameterized gravity waves.
