International Space Science Institute Observing System Simulation Experiment

This dataset is comprised of WRF output, created to study orographically generated gravity waves observed by satellite-borne radiometers in the stratosphere. The intent is for the OGWs in the output to be used to evaluate satellite-methods for computing vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum, to be compared with waves in ECMWF and UKMO UM models, and to be validated against stratospheric satellite observations. This dataset covers the Patagonia and Antarctic Peninsula regions. The overall objective is to provide constraints for OGW drag parameterizations.
