2019 Workshop: Secondary Gravity Waves
Sharon Vadas
Rich Collins
The session is open to any related topic or ideas regarding primary GW breaking and secondary GW generation. Some topics may include:
-Addressing secondary GWs in GCMs
-Understanding thermospheric and space weather influences from secondary GWs
-M-T-I coupling via mechanisms of higher order GW generation
-Modeling efforts of both small and large scale GWs and associated secondary effects
-Theory associated secondary and higher order GWs
-Observational efforts to understand coupling effects due to secondary and higher order GWs

Discussion
This session invites talks relating to gravity wave coupling via mechanisms of secondary gravity wave generation. This includes breaking primary GWs and associated sources in addition to secondary and higher-order GWs created from the breaking and attenuation of primary GWs. We are also interested in talks relating to wave-mean flow interactions. We welcome presentations of theoretical, modeling, and experimental nature.
