[1] We examine the responses of the mesosphere and lower Mesosphere‐Electrodynamics General Circulation Model
thermosphere (MLT) temperatures to gravity waves (GWs) (TIME‐GCM), the Navy‐Operational Global Atmospheric
during stratospheric sudden warming (SSW) using TIME‐ Prediction System ‐ Advanced Level Physics and High
GCM through modifying GW parameters. Our study Altitude (NOGAPS‐ALPHA), and the Canadian Middle
confirms that the height of GW forcing region is mainly Atmosphere Model Data Assimilation System (CMAM‐
determined by GW amplitude and wavelength, and its DAS) [Liu and Roble, 2002; Coy et al., 2005; Ren et al.,
vertical depth is closely tied to the spectral width of GW 2008]. The importance of GW forcing for capturing MLT
phase speed. The GW forcing controls the pattern and cooling has been examined using the NOGAPS‐ALPHA
strength of residual circulation and thereby the characteristics model with and without Rayleigh friction and the CMAM‐
of the MLT cooling and warming regions.
