• The Role of Eddies in Driving the Tropospheric Response to Stratospheric Heating Perturbations (2009, background): “…through a change in temperature of the lower stratosphere, and several authors have investigated the effect of applying different temperature perturbations to the stratospheres of sGCMs (HBD05; Polvani and Kushner 2002; Kushner and Polvani 2004, 2006; Williams 2006; Lorenz and DeWeaver 2007).”
• SOLAR INFLUENCES ON CLIMATE (2010, neutral): “Feedback of these tropospheric zonal wind changes on the tropospheric eddy momentum fluxes appears to be important [e.g., Polvani and Kushner, 2002; Kushner and Polvani, 2006; Song and Robinson, 2004].”

• The Steady-State Atmospheric Circulation Response to Climate Change–like Thermal Forcings in a Simple General Circulation Model (2010, background): “The wintertime conditions given by Polvani and Kushner (2002) yield a somewhat lower tropical tropopause (;175 hPa) than the equinoctial conditions used in the previous section (;110 hPa).”
• THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “Waves propagate into the stratosphere and affect the stratospheric flow, and that in turn affects the persistence of tropospheric wave modes [ Polvani and Kushner , 2002].”
• Stratosphere-troposphere evolution during polar vortex intensification (2005, neutral): “Model results of Polvani and Kushner [2002] similarly suggested that strong cooling of the polar winter stratosphere is linked to the poleward shift and strengthening of the tropospheric jet and the accompanied NAM-like surface pressure pattern.”
