Seasonal aspects of the quasi‐biennial oscillation in the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model and ERA‐40

This study investigates seasonal modulations of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) of the tropical stratosphere. For this purpose, the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI‐ESM), which internally generates a realistic QBO compared to the ERA‐40 data set, is employed. The modeled QBO is forc...
