• Forcing of the quasi‐biennial oscillation from a broad spectrum of atmospheric waves (2002, methodology): “…scales, generating highly intermittent precipitation, while lower than normal horizontal diffusion strengthens the energy spectrum at the truncation limit of the GCM. Recently, a QBO was simulated in a GCM including a specifically adjusted gravity wave drag parameterization [Scaife et al., 2000].”
• Interaction of gravity waves with the QBO: A satellite perspective (2014, methodology): “…dynamics of the whole atmosphere, much effort has been made to simulate a QBO, as realistically as possible, in general circulation models (GCMs) and chemistry-climate models (CCMs) [e.g., Scaife et al., 2000; Giorgetta et al., 2002, 2006; Kawatani et al., 2010; Orr et al., 2010; Xue et al., 2012].”
• WHOLE ATMOSPHERE MODELING: CONNECTING TERRESTRIAL AND SPACE WEATHER (2011, background): “in the middle atmosphere [e.g., Mayr et al., 1997; Scaife et al., 2000], as well as seasonal variations of atmospheric tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) [e.”
• The predictability of the extratropical stratosphere on monthly time‐scales and its impact on the skill of tropospheric forecasts (2015, methodology): “However, a few general-circulation models have been shown to be able to simulate the evolution of the QBO (Takahashi, 1996; Scaife et al., 2000; Giorgetta et al., 2002; Kim et al., 2013).”
• High‐latitude influence of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (2014, background): “It is now becoming more common for GCMs to resolve the QBO (e.g. Takahashi, 1996; Scaife et al., 2000; Giorgetta et al., 2006; Anstey et al., 2010), potentially allowing realistic simulation of interactions between polar vortices (in either hemisphere), the QBO, and other sources of interannual…”
• Gravity wave dynamics and effects in the middle atmosphere (2003, background): “Instead, nonstationary waves, when they are included at all, are input with globally uniform properties or with properties that vary only as a function of latitude [Garcia and Solomon, 1985; Holton and Schoeberl, 1988; Smith and Brasseur, 1991; McLandress and Ward, 1994; Roble and Ridley, 1994; Nort”
• Impact of the QBO on surface winter climate (2009, background): “While a few atmosphere general circulation models (AGCM) are able to reproduce the evolution of the QBO [e.g., Takahashi, 1996; Scaife et al., 2000; Giorgetta et al., 2002], many simulate a tropical stratosphere with mean easterly winds instead of QBO-like oscillations [Boer and Hamilton, 2008].”
• Impact of a Spectral Gravity Wave Parameterization on the Stratosphere in the Met Office Unified Model (2002, methodology): “It allows a QBO to be generated from forcing by both the resolved and parameterized waves (Scaife et al. 2000).”
• An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, methodology): “…are natural vertical extensions of the first generation lower atmospheric schemes and can usually provide the orographic component of the middle atmosphere GWD in models (see e.g., McFarlane et al., 1997; Manzini and McFarlane, 1998; Pawson et al., 1998; Scaife et al., 2000; Jackson et al., 2001).”
