Method for calculating torsional oscillations in Earth’s atmosphere from NCEP/NCAR, MERRA-2, ECMWF ERA-40, and ERA-Interim

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2019
In this paper, we describe a method for calculating low-frequency zonal-mean zonal wind variations, which we call torsional oscillations. We compare the torsional oscillations calculated from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis I, MERRA-2, ECWMF ERA-40, and ERA ...
