This page describes a numerical simulation of gravity waves over
Kerguelen and Heard Islands on June 16, 2025 for comparison with
AWE swath 8873.
Wind Profile
The background winds and temperature are fixed in space and time.
The plots below show representative profiles for point located at 49.5°S, 69.5°E. Winds taken by combining ERA5 and JAWARA data.
