A global circulation model is being used to study the dynamical behavior of stratospheric planetary waves (waves having horizontal wavelengths of tens of thousands of kilometers) forced by growing cyclonic disturbances of intermediate scale, typically ...

Abstract This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the climate response in Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter to major volcanic eruptions of the past, using multi‐member ensembles of historical experiments of 15 models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) and three reanalysis data sets.

Model spread in multidecadal NAO variability connected to stratosphere-troposphere coupling
Abstract. The underestimation of multidecadal variability in the winter-time North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) by global climate models remains poorly understood. Understanding the origins of this weak NAO variability is important for making model projections more reliable.

A Novel Methodology for Probing the Observed Influence of the QBO on Tropical Tropospheric Climate
Abstract The stratospheric Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is characterized by descending bands of wind and temperature anomalies in the tropical stratosphere with a mean period of ∼28 months. Numerous studies have argued that the QBO has a significant impact on tropical tropospheric climate.

Abstract Narrow bipolar events (NBEs) are often generated in overshooting thunderclouds (OT) penetrating the stratosphere. However, how and under what conditions OT produces such discharges remains unclear. With 3‐year lightning observations and simultaneous cloud top brightness temperature measurements over South China, we developed a more accurate OT

Abstract As a key macrophysical property, cloud horizontal scale plays a critical role in cloud radiative effect (CRE), precipitation and convective structures. Until now, however, how cloud scales vary with surface temperature anomaly and their subsequent impacts on CRE and precipitation remains unclear.

Preconditioned Stratospheric Modulation on the Occurrence of Stratospheric Final Warmings
Stratospheric Final Warmings (SFWs) are considered to have a distinct impact on the surface weather and stratospheric ozone. Most SFWs are predominantly wave‐driven, while previous studies generally focused on the effects of tropospheric anomalous wave ...

Radiative forcing of climate [PDF]
An update of the scientific discussions presented in Chapter 2 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report is presented. The update discusses the atmospheric radiative and chemical species of significance for climate change.

The downward influence of extreme stratospheric events is typically described by the evolution of the Northern Annular Mode (NAM) across atmospheric levels. However, the dynamics and uncertainty in vertical coupling are not fully resolved.
