It has been found that the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in the stratosphere have an important impact on the Madden Julian oscillation (MJO). In this study, we show that there is an obvious biennial oscillation in the tropical upper troposphere, which

Towards a More Earth‐Like Circulation in Idealized Models
Idealized models are useful for the investigation of dynamical phenomena in which physical processes play a secondary role. Typically, such models employ highly idealized topography and zonally symmetric equilibrium temperatures as forcings.

The impact of the state of the troposphere on the response to stratospheric heating in a simplified GCM [PDF]
Previous studies have made use of simplified general circulation models (sGCMs) to investigate the atmospheric response to various forcings. In particular, several studies have investigated the tropospheric response to changes in stratospheric ...

Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced Winds Beyond Geostrophic and Gradient Wind Fields
Abstract We present a novel approach to derive three‐dimensional Climatic Higher‐Order Balanced (CHOB) wind fields from thermodynamic state variables in the free troposphere and stratosphere. The CHOB method is developed for monthly synoptic‐scale wind field estimation, utilizing commonly used balanced winds (geostrophic and gradient wind) enhanced by ...

Simulation of the ENSO influence on the extra-tropical middle atmosphere
The impact of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the Northern Hemisphere mid-winter zonal wind, temperature, and stationary planetary waves (SPWs) is evaluated using the Middle and Upper Atmosphere Model and Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for ...

Global Kilometer‐Scale Climate Storylines Using Spectral Nudging
Abstract Effective climate adaptation benefits from detailed, actionable information on how specific extreme events are influenced by climate change. Here we present the first global, kilometer‐scale coupled modeling framework that enables counterfactual reconstructions of recent weather events, including extremes, in different climates.

Stratospheric Impacts on Weather Regimes Following the 2018 and 2019 Sudden Stratospheric Warmings
Major disruptions of the stratospheric polar vortex can improve subseasonal forecast skill for surface climate, as negative North Atlantic Oscillation‐like (NAO−) states can follow sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs).

Abstract The launch of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission in 2023 marked a new era in air quality monitoring by providing high‐frequency, geostationary observations of column NO2 across most of North America. In this study, we present the first implementation of a TEMPO NO2 data assimilation system using the Joint ...

Stratospheric Variability and Trends in Models Used for the IPCC AR4 [PDF]
Atmosphere and ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) experiments for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) are analyzed to better understand model variability and assess the importance of various forcing ...

Abstract The surface climate impact of stratospheric polar vortex anomalies depends on their downward propagation (DP) into the troposphere. We find pronounced decadal variability in the winter frequency of stratospheric Northern Annular Mode (SNAM) events that exhibit DP (1951–2024).
