The influence of the stratosphere on the tropospheric zonal wind response to CO<sub>2</sub> doubling

The influence of a CO<sub>2</sub> doubling on the stratospheric potential vorticity (PV) is examined in two climate models. Subsequently, the influence of changes in the stratosphere on the tropospheric zonal wind response is investigated, by inverting the stratospheric PV. <br><...
