Stratospheric wave driving events as an alternative to sudden stratospheric warmings [PDF]
Natural variations in the strength of the northern stratospheric polar vortex, so-called polar vortex events, help to improve subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) predictions of winter climate.

Improved predictability of the troposphere using stratospheric final warmings [PDF]
The final warming of the stratospheric polar vortex at the end of northern hemisphere winter is examined in ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis data and an ensemble of chemistry climate models, using 20 years of data from each.

The stratospheric polar vortex and sudden stratospheric warmings [PDF]
The polar vortex is the dominant feature of the wintertime stratosphere. Sometimes, it is unusually strong, while at others it is very weak or destroyed in an event known as a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). Both can play an important role in driving the type and predictability of the weather we experience at the surface.

Equatorial counter electrojets and polar stratospheric sudden warmings – a classical example of high latitude-low latitude coupling? [PDF]
Favored occurrences of Equatorial Counter Electrojets (CEJs) with a quasi 16-day periodicity over Trivandrum (8.5° N, 76.5° E, 0.5° N diplat.) in association with the polar Stratospheric Sudden Warming (SSW) events are presented.

Multimodel climate and variability of the stratosphere [PDF]
The stratospheric climate and variability from simulations of sixteen chemistry‐climate models is evaluated. On average the polar night jet is well reproduced though its variability is less well reproduced with a large spread between models.

Associations between stratospheric variability and tropospheric blocking [PDF]
There is widely believed to be a link between stratospheric flow variability and stationary, persistent “blocking” weather systems, but the precise nature of this link has proved elusive.

Defining Sudden Stratospheric Warmings
Abstract Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are large, rapid temperature rises in the winter polar stratosphere, occurring predominantly in the Northern Hemisphere. Major SSWs are also associated with a reversal of the climatological westerly zonal-mean zonal winds.

The role of convective overshooting clouds in tropical stratosphere–troposphere dynamical coupling [PDF]
This paper investigates the role of deep convection and overshooting convective clouds in stratosphere–troposphere dynamical coupling in the tropics during two large major stratospheric sudden warming events in January 2009 and January 2010.

Effects of the stratospheric sudden warming on the temperature in the MLT region [PDF]
P(論文)We investigate effects of the stratospheric sudden warming on the temperature in the MLT (mesosphere and lower thermosphere) region by using a general circulation model up to 150km height.

The Major Sudden Stratospheric Warming Impact on Mid-Latitude Surface Weather [PDF]
The possible relation of a major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) with the mid-latitude surface weather conditions was investigated using data from the ERA-Interim and NCEP–NCAR reanalyzes.
