Global analyses of E
p
as a proxy for gravity wave activity in the stratosphere obtained using GPS radio occultation (RO) data from the CHAMP satellite are presented. Large E
p
values are noticed at tropical latitudes, but also at midlatitudes during winter. A correspondence between tropical gravity wave activity and tropical deep convection is found. E
p
values are also large during the sudden stratospheric warming that occurred in the southern hemisphere during September–October 2002.
