Introduction

Dataset Calibration

Atmospheric Gravity Waves (Gw) Emerge From Disturbances In A Stably Stratified Air Mass And Are Restored
By Buoyancy 1 . Gws Control Many Processes Found
Throughout All Atmospheric Layers So Are Extremely Important For Understanding The Dynamics Occurring In
Each Layer, For Capturing The Coupling Between The Nearsurface And The Highest Levels Of Planetary Atmospheres,
And For Closing Energy And Momentum Budgets Of The
General Circulation 2 . Gws Are Important For Understanding Atmospheric Dynamics On Mars Because They Impact
Atmospheric Escape Processes, And As Shown By Curiosity, They May Instigate Cloud Activity 3 .
Recently, Heavens Et Al., (2020, 2022) 4;5 Developed
A Climatology Of Gws From The Mars Climate Sounder
(Mcs). However, Mcs Can Only Look For Gws In The
Meridional Direction; It Cannot Detect Gws In The Zonal
Direction. To Look For Gw In The Zonal Direction, An
