Resumen:
We first study the seasonal and geographical behavior of gravity wave activity in the
lower stratosphere over the southernmost Andes mountains and their prolongation in the Antarctic
Peninsula by global positioning system (GPS) radio occultation (RO) temperature profiles, obtained
between years 2002 and 2005 by the CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) mission. The
observed 5 features complement observations in the same zone by other satellite passive remote sensing
instruments, which are able to detect different height regions and other spectral intervals of the
wave spectrum. Comparisons with previous GPS RO studies in smaller areas than the one covered
in our analysis are also established. Significant seasonal variation of wave activity is observed in our
work, in agreement with results from other instruments. The locations of significant cases indicate
instruments, which are able to detect different height regions and other spectral intervals of the
wave spectrum. Comparisons with previous GPS RO studies in smaller areas than the one covered

Critical level filtering is shown to have an attenuation effect, implying that a large fraction of the
observed activity can be considered to be an outcome of mountain waves. The studied region has
a significant advantage as compared to other regions of our planet: it generates wavefronts nearly
aligned with the North-South direction (almost parallel to the mountains), whereby this geometry
