Goal

To assess changes in GW sources in response to a changing climate

Tools

1. GCMs with parameterized GW sources: comparison of parameterized waves in long-term simulations (convection, fronts, orography)

2. High resolution GCMs (~25 km): look at changes in frontally and orographically excited waves in long-term simulations

3. Radar and Lidar Observations: look at trends in GWs in the MLT and compare to models
