Gravity waves play an essential role in driving and maintaining the global circulation. In order to understand their contribution in the atmosphere, it is important to reproduce their distribution accurately. In this paper, we propose a deep learning method for estimating the momentum flux of gravity waves, and validate its performance at 100 hPa using low-resolution zonal wind, meridional wind, air temperature, and specific humidity (300, 700, and 850 hPa) data over the Hokkaido region. For this purpose, a deep convolutional neural network was trained on 29 years of reanalysis data sets (JRA-55 and DSJRA-55), and final 5 years of data were reserved for evaluation. The results show that the fine momentum flux distribution of gravity waves can be estimated with reasonable computational cost. In particular, the median root mean square error (RMSE) of the maximum momentum flux and the characteristic zonal wavenumber were 0.06-0.13 mPa and 1.0×10-5, respectively, during the winter season when gravity waves are stronger.
