180°. Note upward displacement of levels over resolved T425 terrain of South Island of New Zealand ( 172°E) and Tasmania ( 147°E). Light green curve shows lowest isobaric model layer at 85 hPa. Vertical color bars show approximate altitude ranges of assimilated MLT observations discussed in section 2c . (b) Black curve shows sea level layer thicknesses vs pressure height Z of the L74 layers shown in (a), with dots located on the full levels. Green curve shows corresponding thicknesses of

NZ ( Fritts et al. 2016 ), which extend along the South Island with multiple peaks over 3 km above sea level (MSL). During the 6-week-long field observations, STWs were documented extending from NZ to the east during several DEEPWAVE intensive observational periods [IOPs; see Table 4 of Fritts et al. (2016 )]. Two such STW IOPs are examined here, namely, IOPs 3 and 6, with more emphasis on the latter. To deepen our understanding of STW dynamics, an in-depth analysis of two STW events is
