Open Questions and Research Strategy
How well do present parameterizations describe the GW impact? (theory needed!)
(e.g. Linzen 1981, Palmer et al 1986, McFarlane 1987, Medvedev and Klaassen 1995, Hines 1997, Lott and Miller 1997, Alexander and Dunkerton 1999, Warner and McIntyre 2001)
How well do we understand GW breaking?
How well do we understand GW propagation?
Presently no parameterization of spontaneous imbalance
![Page 12: Ulrich Achatz Goethe- Universität Frankfurt am Main](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56816688550346895dda3ce2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

• Mean flow:
• Same result in both pseudo-incompressible and anelastic theory!• There is a higher-order correction to hydrostatic equilibrium but this has no non-anelastic correction, and it does not matter anyway!

Summary
• multi-scale asymptotics of dynamics of GWs in interaction with
synoptic-scale flow• large-amplitude WKB theory through a distinguished limit• Pseudo-incompressible theory yields same results as
general equations• Differences anelastic theory to pseudo-incompressible theory
become negligible to the same precision as QG theory holds,
i.e. as
• consistent with Smolarkiewicz and Dörnbrack (2008),
Klein (2009), Smolarkiewicz and Szmelter (2011)
