Decadal-scale changes in the effect of the QBO on the northern stratospheric polar vortex
- Abstract:
-
This study documents decadal-scale changes in the Holton and Tan (HT) relationship, i.e., the influence of the lower stratospheric equatorial quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) on the northern hemisphere (NH) extratropical. circulation. Using a combination of ECMWF ERA-40 Reanalysis and Operational data from 1958-2006, we find that the Arctic stratosphere is indeed warmer under easterly QBO and colder under westerly QBO. During November to January, composite easterly minus westerly QBO signals ...
