• The evolution of the stratopause during the 2006 major warming: Satellite data and assimilated meteorological analyses (2008, background): “[33] GW drag is still expected to be important at lower altitudes via downward control [Garcia and Boville, 1994] and/or spurious downward influence of GW parameterizations [e.g., Shepherd et al., 1996; Shepherd and Shaw, 2004; Shaw and Shepherd, 2007].”
• A comparison between gravity wave momentum fluxes in observations and climate models (2013, background): “…et al. 2010), obtaining a realistic quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) (e.g., Scaife et al. 2000) and having a realistic stratospheric transport circulation (e.g., Shepherd 2007), although these latter phenomena may also depend on boundary conditions and the radiative calculations in the simulations.”
• Residual circulation trajectories and transit times into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere (2009, background): “In the lowermost stratosphere (LMS), synoptic-scale baroclinic eddies10 that break just above the subtropical jet also contribute to this wave driven circulation (Held and Hoskins, 1985; Shepherd, 2007).”
• A Robust Mechanism for Strengthening of the Brewer–Dobson Circulation in Response to Climate Change: Critical-Layer Control of Subtropical Wave Breaking (2011, background): “5 of Shepherd 2000), and have been shown to be a major driver of the observed mass flux in the subtropical lower stratosphere (Randel et al. 2008).”
• THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “The Brewer‐Dobson circulation is driven by seasonal variations in momentum deposition associated with vertically propagating waves originating in the troposphere [Garcia, 1987; Plumb, 2007; Shepherd, 2007], and is linked with mean upward flow in the tropics and poleward and downward motion in the ex”
• Large climate-induced changes in ultraviolet index and stratosphere-to-troposphere ozone flux (2009, background): “and is thus a good indicator of the Brewer–Dobson circulatio”
• A global view of the extratropical tropopause transition layer from Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer O3, H2O, and CO (2009, methodology): “This is mainly due to strong contrasts between the chemical, dynamical, and radiative properties of the troposphere and the stratosphere [e.g., Shepherd, 2007].”
• Dynamics, stratospheric ozone, and climate change (2008, background): “More advanced reviews of key concepts and recent developments in stratospheric dynamics can be found in Shepherd (2000) and Haynes (2005), while stratospheric transport is reviewed in Plumb (2002) and Shepherd (2007).”
