Stratospheric Connection to Northern Hemisphere Wintertime Weather: Implications for Prediction (2002, background): “This impact could occur directly through the mecha- nisms described in Haynes et al. (1991), Hartley et al. (1998), and Black (2002).”
High‐latitude influence of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (2014, methodology): “The QBO’s period of ≈ 28 months (Baldwin et al., 2001) is responsible for much of this variation, since it leads to ‘beating’ between the QBO and the annual cycle.”
General aspects of a T213L256 middle atmosphere general circulation model (2008, methodology): “A 250-layer GCM 107 (T63L250) simulation by Watanabe and Takahashi [2005] successfully reproduced spontaneously 108 QBO-like oscillation and stratopause semi-annual oscillation (S-SAO) along with the realistic 109 vertical wind shears, through which equatorial Kelvin waves were found to propagate.”
Seasonal and quasi‐biennial variations in the migrating diurnal tide observed by Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) (2009, neutral): “Since the period of the QBO in the lower stratospheric winds is variable [ Baldwin et al. , 2001], the analysis solves for the period rather than specifying it; the "optimal" period is that for which the error of the fitting reaches minimum.”
Improved 11‐year solar signal in the Freie Universität Berlin Climate Middle Atmosphere Model (FUB‐CMAM) (2004, background): “[6] A phenomenon that further complicates the identification of solar influences on climate is the Quasi-BiennialOscillation (QBO), which dominates the interannual variability of the equatorial stratosphere and influences higher latitudes significantly [e.g., Baldwin et al., 2001].”
The Roles of Equatorial Trapped Waves and Internal Inertia–Gravity Waves in Driving the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation. Part I: Zonal Mean Wave Forcing (2010, background): “A broad spectrum of waves exists in the tropics, and many of these waves contribute to driving the QBO (Baldwin et al. 2001).”
Characterization of the 11-Year Solar Signal Using a Multiple Regression Analysis of the ERA-40 Dataset (2005, methodology): “However, this cannot be determined via this study. e. QBO response Interannual variability of temperature and zonal wind in the tropical stratosphere is strongly influenced by the QBO (Baldwin et al. 2001).”
