• Tropical rainfall, Rossby waves and regional winter climate predictions (2017, background): “For example, ENSO tends to peak in winter, and the stratosphere, which is related to extratropical winter NAO predictability (Sigmond et al., 2013; Scaife et al., 2016), is only dynamically active in winter (e.g. Kidston et al., 2015).”
• Rossby Wave Packets on the Midlatitude Waveguide—A Review (2018, neutral): “We also exclude from consideration issues involving stratosphere–troposphere coupling, which were discussed in a recent review by Kidston et al. (2015).”
• The Remarkably Strong Arctic Stratospheric Polar Vortex of Winter 2020: Links to Record‐Breaking Arctic Oscillation and Ozone Loss (2020, background): “Anomalously strong or weak polar vortex states correspond to positive or negative phases of the stratospheric NAM, respectively, and these tend to be followed in the troposphere by positive or negative AO events, which may last for weeks to months and alter patterns of surface temperatures and preci”
• Predictability of downward propagation of major sudden stratospheric warmings (2017, background): “Kidston et al. (2015) provide a review of proposed mechanisms for the stratosphere–troposphere coupling.”
• The Teleconnection of El Niño Southern Oscillation to the Stratosphere (2019, background): “For further details on the dynamics of the stratosphere and stratosphere-troposphere coupling, please refer to Geller, (1979, 2010), Haynes (2005), Kidston et al. (2015), Plumb (2010), and Waugh and Polvani (2010).”
• The Max Planck Institute Grand Ensemble: Enabling the Exploration of Climate System Variability (2019, background): “In the North Atlantic, the projected equatorward shifts (Figure 9d) suggest that the stratospheric influence dominates, given that the stratospheric vortex weakens (Kidston et al., 2015).”
• The stratospheric pathway for Arctic impacts on midlatitude climate (2016, background): “…temperature (e.g., El Niño– Southern Oscillation), ozone, and greenhouse gases, that can affect the stratospheric polar vortex strength with consequential downward influences on the surface climate [Brönnimann et al., 2004; Manzini et al., 2006; Ineson and Scaife, 2009; Kidston et al., 2015].”
• The Southern Annular Mode: Variability, trends, and climate impacts across the Southern Hemisphere (2020, background): “…to the stratosphere described in the previous section, the dynamics governing the connection from the stratosphere downward to the troposphere are relatively recently discovered, and generally much less well understood (Gerber et al., 2012; J. Kidston et al., 2015; Thompson et al., 2011).”
