• The Southern Annular Mode: Variability, trends, and climate impacts across the Southern Hemisphere (2020, background): “…the coherent response from the Antarctic stratosphere down to the surface can be related to changes in refraction of synoptic scale waves (Limpasuvan & Hartmann, 2000; Isla R. Simpson et al., 2009), planetary waves (Fletcher & Kushner, 2011; Song & Robinson, 2004), or baroclinic…”
• On the composite response of the MLT to major sudden stratospheric warming events with elevated stratopause (2016, background): “The arrival of these anomalies there can induce momentum forcing by synoptic-scale waves that drives an overturning circulation to extend the anomalous westward wind to the surface [Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 2000; Limpasuvan et al., 2004].”
• Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Ice Response to Variations in the Southern Annular Mode (2006, background): “Observational (e.g., Karoly 1990; Hartmann and Lo 1998; Lorenz and Hartmann 2001) and model (e.g., Robinson 1991; Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000; Codron 2005) studies suggest that the persistence and dominance of the SAM can be explained in terms of a positive feedback between the zonal winds (in…”
• Observational Evidence of a Stratospheric Influence on the Troposphere by Planetary Wave Reflection. (2003, background): “…been observed (e.g., Shindell et al. 2001) and is attributed to an increased refraction of tropospheric waves toward the equator (rather than upward propagation to the stratosphere) as a result of the stronger jet (e.g., Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000; Hu and Tung 2002; Lorenz and Hartmann 2003).”
• A critical comparison of stratosphere–troposphere coupling indices (2009, neutral): “Kidson, 1988; Karoly, 1990; Thompson and Wallace, 1998, 2000; Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 2000; Quadrelli and Wallace, 2004).”
• The dynamical response to snow cover perturbations in a large ensemble of atmospheric GCM integrations. (2008, neutral): “6b of Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000).”
• Phase Speed Spectra and the Latitude of Surface Westerlies: Interannual Variability and Global Warming Trend (2008, background): “It is also of interest to observe that ENSO can excite a pattern that projects only significantly on the SAM, but not the NAM, whereas the global warming can excite both SAM- and NAM-like responses.”
• Dynamical implications of the orientation of atmospheric eddies: a local energetics perspective (2007, background): “…by LF variability (e.g., Egger and Schilling, 1983; Lau and Holopainen, 1984; Lau, 1988; Cai and Mak, 1990b; Cai and van den Dool, Tellus 59A (2007), 1 127 1991; Lau and Nath, 1991; Robinson, 1991; Branstator, 1995; Cuff and Cai, 1995; Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 1999, 2000; Chang et al., 2002).”
• Atmospheric bridge, oceanic tunnel, and global climatic teleconnections (2007, background): “…fluxes from both traveling storms and stationary waves [e.g., Karoly, 1990; Hartmann and Lo, RG2005 Liu and Alexander: ATMOSPHERE, OCEAN, AND TELECONNECTIONS 6 of 34 RG2005 1998;DeWeaver and Nigam, 2000a, 2000b; Robinson, 2000; Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 1999, 2000; Lorenz and Hartmann, 2001, 2003].”
• Assessing and understanding the impact of stratospheric dynamics and variability on the earth system (2012, background): “Mechanisms based on linear theory highlight the inf luence of lower-stratospheric conditions on the refraction of synoptic waves (Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000; Simpson et al. 2009) and the potential for constructive and destructive influence of climatological and forced planetary waves (Fletcher…”
• Connections Between Clouds, Radiation, and Midlatitude Dynamics: a Review (2015, background): “In the extratropics, large-scale dynamical variability is dominated by the annular modes, consisting of meridional shifts of the jets and storm tracks with associated anomalies in vertical motion and precipitation [12–14].”
• Stratosphere-troposphere evolution during polar vortex intensification (2005, background): “[27] The dipole structure in the wind anomalies shown in Figure 3 bears strong resemblance to the wind fluctuation attributable to the positive phase of the NAM [e.g., Thompson and Wallace, 1998; Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 2000].”
• The summertime annular mode in the Northern Hemisphere and its linkage to the winter mode (2004, background): “These waves may maintain the double-jet structure through zonal-eddy coupling [Limpasuvan and Hartmann, 1999, 2000; Yamazaki and Shinya, 1999; Kimoto et al., 2001], although there have been few studies for summer.”
• A Mechanism and Simple Dynamical Model of the North Atlantic Oscillation and Annular Modes (2004, background): “On the observational side, analysis of annular modes and the NAO indicates that transient, high-frequency (i.e., 1–10 days) activity plays an important role in maintaining their variability (e.g., Lau 1988; Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000; DeWeaver and Nigam 2000).”
