abstract = "Atmospheric gravity waves play an important role in transporting
energy and momentum between atmospheric spheres and drive
circulations that affect key processes such as formation of the
ozone hole and the cold summer polar mesosphere. One of the
reasons that still avoid the full understanding and description of
gravity waves is the lack comprehensive observations over the
Antarctic region. The ANtarctic Gravity Wave Instrument Network
(ANGWIN ) is a highly successful grassroots programme that was
started in 2011. It seeks to use a network of observations to
measure gravity waves continent wide and through all levels of the
atmosphere, in order to fully understand their impact and
constrain modelling work. Although ANGWIN initially focused on the
Antarctic, the group is now aiming to develop collaborations in
both polar regions. Current member countries of ANGWIN are
Australia, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the
United States of America. The objective of ANGWIN network include;
Qualify the longitudinal variations in gravity waves and determine
causes; Characterize wave propagation and influence; Relate
observed gravity waves to sources throughout the atmosphere; Study
interactions of gravity waves with planetary scale waves; Compare
polar wave observations to model parameterizations; Determine the
effects of gravity waves on polar stratospheric cloud formation.
The ANGWIN network, its objectives and some recent results will be
presented in the poster.",
