Journal ArticleDOI
Defining Sudden Stratospheric Warmings
TL;DR: Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are large, rapid temperature rises in the winter polar stratosphere, occurring predominantly in the Northern Hemisphere as discussed by the authors, and are associated with a reversal of the climatological westerly zonal-mean zonal winds.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Lack of Stratospheric Dynamical Variability in Low‐Top Versions of the CMIP5 Models
Andrew Charlton-Perez,Mark P. Baldwin,Thomas Birner,Robert X. Black,Amy H. Butler,Natalia Calvo,Nicholas A. Davis,Edwin P. Gerber,Nathan P. Gillett,Steven C. Hardiman,J. H. Kim,Kirstin Krüger,Yun-Young Lee,Elisa Manzini,Brent A. McDaniel,Lorenzo M. Polvani,Thomas Reichler,Tiffany A. Shaw,Michael Sigmond,Seok-Woo Son,Matthew Toohey,Laura Wilcox,Shigeo Yoden,Bo Christiansen,François Lott,Drew Shindell,Seiji Yukimoto,Shingo Watanabe +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main differences in simulations of stratospheric climate and variability by models within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Steady-State Atmospheric Circulation Response to Climate Change–like Thermal Forcings in a Simple General Circulation Model
TL;DR: In this article, the steady-state extratropical atmospheric response to thermal forcing is investigated in a simple atmospheric general circulation model, and the thermal forcings qualitatively mimic three key aspects of anthropogenic climate change: warming in the tropical troposphere, cooling in the polar stratosphere, and warming at the polar surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Teleconnection of El Niño Southern Oscillation to the Stratosphere
TL;DR: The authors in this article reviewed the possible mechanisms connecting ENSO to the stratosphere in the tropics and the extratropics of both hemispheres while also considering open questions, including nonlinearities in the teleconnections, the role of ENSo diversity, and the impacts of climate change and variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sudden stratospheric warming compendium
Amy H. Butler,Amy H. Butler,Jeremiah P. Sjoberg,Jeremiah P. Sjoberg,Dian J. Seidel,Karen H. Rosenlof +5 more
TL;DR: The SSW Compendium (SSWC) as mentioned in this paper provides a new database that documents the evolution of the stratosphere, troposphere, and surface conditions 60 days prior to and after stratospheric warmings for the period 1958-2014.
