The Teleconnection of El Niño Southern Oscillation to the Stratosphere (2019, background): “Increases in ozone in the polar lower stratosphere during El Niño have also been noted in both observations and models (Cagnazzo et al., 2009; Randel & Cobb, 1994; Randel et al., 2009; Sassi et al., 2004).”
Solar extreme‐ultraviolet irradiance for general circulation models (2005, methodology): “It has been implemented in v. 1.8 of the TIE-GCM and has also been implemented in v. 3.0 of the whole atmosphere community climate model (WACCM) [e.g., Sassi et al., 2004].”
Goddard Earth Observing System chemistry‐climate model simulations of stratospheric ozone‐temperature coupling between 1950 and 2005 (2008, methodology): “An alternate approach would have been to repeat a single year of SST data each year of the model run: this experimental configuration was not chosen because some early model runs suggested that year-to-year SST variations do impact the middle atmospheric circulation [see also Braesicke and Pyle, 200”
The predictability of the extratropical stratosphere on monthly time‐scales and its impact on the skill of tropospheric forecasts (2015, background): “(2014) studies showed that planetary wave activity is enhanced and the stratospheric vortex is weaker than normal during the El Niño phase (van Loon and Labitzke, 1987; Sassi et al., 2004; Garcı́a-Herrera et al., 2006; Manzini et al., 2006; Free and Seidel, 2009).”
Tropospheric Precursors of Anomalous Northern Hemisphere Stratospheric Polar Vortices (2009, background): “Sassi et al. (2004) forced a general circulation model (GCM) with observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from 1950 to 2000 and found that the warm phase of ENSO (WENSO) leads to a significantly warmer polar stratosphere.”
Geomagnetic activity signatures in wintertime stratosphere wind, temperature, and wave response (2013, background): “Both observational and modeling studies have shown that the warm phase of ENSO (WENSO) leads to a warmer polar stratosphere [see, e.g., Sassi et al., 2004].”
TIMED Doppler Interferometer: Overview and recent results (2006, methodology): “New modeling efforts such as the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) will allow a better understanding of these connections [Sassi et al., 2004].”
Thermosphere extension of the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (2010, unknown): “Planetary waves and SSW are also tied to the tropospheric climate system and the stratospheric state, such as the El Niño– Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) [e.g., Sassi et al., 2004; Manzini et al., 2006; Holton and Tan, 1980].”
Impact of monsoon circulations on the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (2004, methodology): “Versions of the MOZART model have been recently used by Park et al. [2004] to analyze methane, water vapor and nitrogen oxides near the tropical tropopause, by Horowitz et al. [2003] to estimate global ozone fluxes and by Sassi et al. [2004] to understand the impact of El Nin˜o on the middle atmos”
The influence of sea surface temperatures on the northern winter stratosphere : Ensemble simulations with the MAECHAM5 model (2006, methodology): “This experimental design is therefore an extension of both Lahoz (2000), given that it considers continuous simulations instead of seasonal simulations, and Sassi et al. (2004), given that it considers a much larger number of total realizations.”
Ionospheric variability due to planetary waves and tides for solar minimum conditions (2010, background): “quasi‐biennial oscillation [Holton and Tan, 1980] and El Niño and Southern Oscillation [Sassi et al., 2004].”
WHOLE ATMOSPHERE MODELING: CONNECTING TERRESTRIAL AND SPACE WEATHER (2011, background): “…of climate and weather models to 115–250 km have also addressed long‐term changes in chemical composition including ionized species, related radiative and dynamical feedbacks, and short‐term variability [Fomichev et al., 2002; Sassi et al., 2004; Schmidt et al., 2006; Siskind et al., 2007].”
Dynamical Mechanism for the Increase in Tropical Upwelling in the Lowermost Tropical Stratosphere during Warm ENSO Events (2010, background): “Some studies have documented the propagation of the ENSO signal to the stratosphere (Calvo Fernandez et al. 2004; Sassi et al. 2004; Garcı́a-Herrera et al. 2006; Manzini et al. 2006), mainly at middle and high latitudes, where ENSO is able to modify the stratospheric mean meridional circulation,…”
Implementation of a gravity wave source spectrum parameterization dependent on the properties of convection in the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) (2005, methodology): “The above described wave parameters are very similar to those used in WACCM1b [ Sassi et al., 2002, 2004 ] and seem to produce most of the observed features in the middle and upper atmospheric circulations.”
The 6.5-day wave and its seasonal variability in the middle and upper atmosphere (2004, methodology): “This correlation has been identified by Sassi et al. [2004] for ENSO years.”
Stratospheric Communication of El Niño Teleconnections to European Winter (2009, result): “…mean-state response to El Niño therefore shows a warming and weakening of the polar vortex, consistent with that found in other modeling studies (Sassi et al. 2004; Manzini et al. 2006) and are in good agreement with reanalysis data (Manzini et al. 2006; Garcia-Herrera et al. 2006). b.…”
