Distributions of the peak altitude and peak magnitude of wave heating rate (Q_h) driven by selected acoustic/gravity wave sets and displayed in panels a/b and d/e, respectively. Panels c and f illustrate peak altitude and peak magnitude of wave cooling rate (Q_c) induced by the selected gravity wave branches, respectively. “AWs” and “GWs” represent the selected acoustic wave branches and gravity wave branches, respectively. $k_z^l$ equals 0.11, 0.32, and 0.99 km⁻¹ for AWs and −0.07, −0.19, −0.5 km⁻¹ for GWs. Horizontal wavelengths of the selected wave modes range from 10 km to 300 km in intervals of 10 km.
