  • Gravity waves are one of the main atmospheric waves in near space environment and have an important impact on the global atmosphere circulation. The limb-sounding instruments on the satellites provide the atmospheric temperature, which can be used for the research of the gravity waves. The data from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Aura and the Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry (SABER) on TIMED from 2012 to 2014 are used to study the global distribution characteristics of atmospheric gravity waves at the height of 20~50 km. The gravity wave activities derived from the two observations are similar to each other. Gravity waves change significantly with season, latitude and altitude. Gravity waves at high latitudes in the winter hemisphere are strongest, and that at high latitudes in the summer hemisphere are weakest. There are also obvious gravity wave activities over the equator and the subtropics in the summer hemisphere. The results show that the strength of gravity wave increases with altitude. In general, the value of gravity wave activity intensity derived from TIMED/SABER is greater than that from Aura/MLS.
