Climatology of the middle atmosphere in LMDz: Impact of source‐related parameterizations of gravity wave drag

Abstract Gravity wave (GW) parameterizations control the mean state and variability of the middle atmosphere in present‐day climate models. The most recent parameterizations relate the GWs to their nonorographic sources (fronts and convection), which impacts the annual cycle of the GW drag, and make...
