From: Quantifying gravity wave forcing using scale invariance
Comparing zonal forcing by resolved waves, unresolved waves, and parameterization. a Color contour: zonal forcing by unresolved gravity waves, deduced from the forcing by resolved gravity waves based on scale invariance. Line contours: parameterized zonal gravity wave forcing. Solid lines: eastward forcing, and contour intervals are 20 ms−1 day−1. b–d Vertical profiles of zonal forcing by resolved gravity waves (dotted lines), unresolved gravity waves (solid lines), and parameterized gravity waves (dashed lines), averaged over 40–50°N, 10°S–10°N, and 60–50°S. Base 10 logarithmic scale is used in a
