Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation Influence on Tropical Convection and El Niño Variability
Geophysical Research LettersThe Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of descending zonal winds is the leading mode of tropical stratospheric variability. Numerous studies have explored its connection with the troposphere, including its sensitivity to El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

First Successful Hindcasts of the 2016 Disruption of the Stratospheric Quasi‐biennial Oscillation
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 In early 2016 the quasi‐biennial oscillation in tropical stratospheric winds was disrupted by an anomalous easterly jet centered at ~40 hPa, a development that was completely missed by all operational extended range weather forecast systems.

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Solar activity is usually characterized by different indices from different perspectives, which are commonly interconnected and contain nonstationary oscillations (NSOs). Given the significant influence of solar activity on space weather, the Earth and humans, it is of great significance to predict solar activity for better understanding not ...

The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in atmospheric ozone [PDF]
Examination of the relationship between tropical stratosphere zonal wind and ozone indicate a variable response in latitude with Northern Hemisphere tropics and polar regions and Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes showing the strongest response with ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Identifying robust precursors for seasonal drought is a central challenge in Earth system science, traditionally approached with linear methods that often fail to capture the complex, asynchronous nature of teleconnections. These methods, by assuming fixed‐phase relationships, can overlook or misrepresent crucial climate drivers.

Imprint of the Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation on the Ionosphere and Thermosphere
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a dominant mode of stratospheric variability and is known to modulate the variability of the ionosphere‐thermosphere (IT) system. However, the extent of its influence on the ionosphere‐thermosphere system remains uncertain due to weak signals and confounding with similar periodicities in solar flux.

Interannual variability of the Tropical Atlantic independent of and associated with ENSO: Part II. The South Tropical Atlantic [PDF]
, 2006 Two dominant ocean-atmosphere modes of variability on interannual timescales were defined in Part I of this work, namely, the North Tropical Atlantic (NTA) and South Tropical Atlantic (STA) modes.
