Influence of the Quasi-biennial Oscillation on Interannual Variability in the Northern Hemisphere Winter Stratosphere

Observations show that the interannual variability of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropical winter stratosphere is strongly correlated with the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of tropical stratospheric winds, particularly during early winter. Most current general circulation models (GCMs) do n...
