- Recent Results from Studies of Electric Discharges in the Mesosphere (2008, background): “This circulation is driven by upward propagating planetary waves in the winter hemisphere which break in the stratosphere, release their westerly momentum and thus reduce the easterly zonal winds (Christiansen 2001).”

- Impact of the QBO on surface winter climate (2009, methodology): “The observed downward propagation of zonal mean zonal wind anomalies from the stratosphere to the troposphere has been simulated in recent numerical simulations [e.g., Christiansen, 2001 ], and several modeling studies have also explored the influence of the QBO on Stratospheric Sudden Warming (SSW”
- Dynamical response to the solar cycle (2002, background): “However, the zonal wind anomalies produced in the upper stratosphere can propagate downward into the troposphere when the interaction between the zonal flow and waves is included [Kodera et al., 1990; Christiansen, 2001].”
- Improved 11‐year solar signal in the Freie Universität Berlin Climate Middle Atmosphere Model (FUB‐CMAM) (2004, background): “Thompson and Wallace [1998] showed that an annular mode, the Arctic Oscillation (AO), connects the atmosphere from the stratosphere down to the Earth’s surface and Baldwin and Dunkerton [2001] as well as Christiansen [2001] recently showed the influence of stratospheric anomalies propagating to th”
- Defining Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (2015, background): “…many of which are the basis for various SSW definitions (Table 1), include the following: • Zonal-mean zonal winds at 10 hPa and 60° latitude (Christiansen 2001; CP07) • Reversal of the meridional zonal-mean temperature gradient poleward of 60° latitude, usually used in combination with a…”
