• The NAO Troposphere-Stratosphere Connection. (2002, background): “7) at 10–15 days and the very recent results of Thompson and Wallace (2001) and Baldwin and Dunkerton (2001) suggest some predictability in Northern Hemisphere high-latitude weather associated with it.”
• The stratospheric pathway for Arctic impacts on midlatitude climate (2016, background): “Anomalously, coldwinters andmeandering jets occurmore frequently during the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) [Thompson and Wallace, 2001; Barriopedro and GarciaHerrera, 2006; Vavrus et al., 2006], which is the predominant variability pattern of the Northern Hemisphere winter climate…”
• Impact of declining Arctic sea ice on winter snowfall (2012, background): “standard deviation about its mean for five consecutive days (36).”
• Midlatitude westerlies, atmospheric CO2, and climate change during the ice ages (2006, background): “[72] The SAM and its northern cousin, the Northern Annular Mode (NAM), are characterized by a seesaw in atmospheric mass between the polar cap regions poleward of 60° latitude and the surrounding zonal rings centered near 45° latitude [Thompson and Wallace, 1998, 2001; Thompson and Solomon, 2002].”
• Geomagnetic activity signatures in wintertime stratosphere wind, temperature, and wave response (2013, background): “…is involved to cause such a change in tropospheric jet location or strength, the signals themselves are consistent with stratospheric influence on the troposphere under the condition of strong vortex and a positive NAM [Thompson and Wallace, 2001; Kushner and Polvani, 2004; Kunz et al., 2009].”
• Low-Order Stochastic Mode Reduction for a Realistic Barotropic Model Climate (2005, background): “These patterns have a strong impact on surface climate and are related to global warming (Marshall et al. 2001; Thompson and Wallace 2001).”
• Assessing and understanding the impact of stratospheric dynamics and variability on the earth system (2012, background): “—, and S. Solomon, 2002: Interpretation of recent Southern Hemisphere climate change.”
• Stratospheric Connection to Northern Hemisphere Wintertime Weather: Implications for Prediction (2002, background): “…are largely consistent with the pattern of surface temperature anomalies associated with the surface signature of the annular mode (Hurrell 1995; Thompson and Wallace 2001): most of the mid–high-latitude landmasses tend to be anomalously cold following the onset of weak stratospheric polar…”
• Causes of climate change over the historical record (2019, background): “The NAO is closely related to the Northern Annular Mode (Thompson and Wallace 2001) which is more zonal in nature and links to variations in the polar stratospheric vortex.”
• A practical method to identify displaced and split stratospheric polar vortex events (2013, background): “These events have been linked to a shift in the midlatitude storm tracks [Thompson and Wallace, 2001], an increase in high-latitude blocking events [Woollings et al., 2010], and an increased chance of cold spells over northern Europe [Tomassini et al., 2012].”
