Abstract
A parameterization of the dynamical and thermal effects of orographic gravity waves (OGWs) and assimilation quasibiennial oscillations (QBOs) of the zonal wind in the equatorial lower atmosphere are implemented into the numerical model of the general circulation of the middle and upper atmosphere MUAM. The sensitivity of vertical ozone fluxes to the effects of stationary OGWs at different QBO phases at altitudes up to 100 km for January is investigated. The simulated changes in vertical velocities produce respective changes in vertical ozone fluxes caused by the effects of the OGW parameterization and the transition from the easterly to the westerly QBO phase. These changes can reach 40 - 60% in the Northern Hemisphere at altitudes of the middle atmosphere.
