We delineated the climatological characteristics of the potential energy of gravity waves, Ep, using Rayleigh lidar observations made in 1990-1991 at Tsukuba, Japan (36°N, 140°E). Tendency of large and small values of Ep in winter and summer, respectively, was detected in the upper stratosphere (30-45 km), suggesting annual variation with a winter maximum. This annual cycle seemed to be consistent with lidar observations made in France and UK [Wilson et al., 1991; Mitchell et al., 1991]. The obtained Ep values in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere (45-60 km) were rather similar to the French data, despite the large scatter of the Tsukuba values.
