Global analysis for periodic variations in gravity wave squared amplitudes and momentum fluxes in the middle atmosphere

<p>Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are an important coupling mechanism in the middle atmosphere. For instance, they provide a large part of the driving of long-period atmospheric oscillations such as the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the semiannual oscillation (SAO) and are in turn modu...
