The DEEP propagating gravity WAVE program (DEEPWAVE) is a comprehensive measurement and modeling program centered on New Zealand and focused on providing a new understanding of gravity wave dynamics and impacts from the troposphere through the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. This program employed several research aircraft from a base in New Zealand during June-July 2014. The NSF/NCAR GV was equipped with new remote sensing instruments that provide measurements up to ~100 km altitudes. The DEEPWAVE observations include cases of topographically generated gravity waves, as well as waves generated by non-orographic sources. Examples of coupling between the lower and upper levels will be shown using the in situ and remote sensing observations, as well as high-resolution models with deep domains.
