Description of the physical process the module takes care of
Parametrization of the momentum flux deposition due to a discrete number of gravity waves randomly generated by setting their waves characteristics (set as Gaussian distribution).
Inherited and adapted from Earth's model (F. Lott), Venus' model (F. LOTT, and S. LEBONNOIS) and Mars' model (G.GILLI, F. FORGET and D.BARDET). Parametrization implemented in the Generic PCM by D.BARDET is the case of Giant Planets and updated J.LIU

Underlying hypotheses and limitations
- input flux compensated in the deepest layers - Variable EP-flux according to PBL variation (max velocity thermals) - reproductibility of the launching altitude calculation - wave characteristic calculation using MOD - adding east_gwstress and west_gwstress variables - The rho (density) at the specific locations is introduced. The equation of EP-flux is corrected by adding the term of density at launch (source) altitude(level)
