Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (2020, background): “These predominantly wave-1 and wave-2 pat-321 terns tend to precede SSWs (Tung & Lindzen, 1979a; Woollings et al., 2010; Garﬁnkel et al., 2010; Cohen & Jones, 2011).”
Are cold winters in Europe associated with low solar activity? (2010, background): “Blocking events have been shown to modulate the stratosphere via upward propagating planetary wave disturbances, but the magnitude, extent and lag of the correlations over Europe strongly suggest that the perturbation to the stratospheric wind pattern can, in turn, influence the blocking [35].”
The influence of stratospheric vortex displacements and splits on surface climate (2013, result): “This is in agreement with Woollings et al. (2010), who show a similar spatial pattern to that of a positive AO (i.e., Fig.”
Bidimensional Diagnostics, Variability, and Trends of Northern Hemisphere Blocking (2012, background): “More recently Woollings et al. (2008, 2010b) demonstrated in detail how the main components of the NAO can be interpreted in terms of the presence or absence of blocking over Greenland.”
Predicting Sudden Stratospheric Warming 2018 and Its Climate Impacts With a Multimodel Ensemble (2018, background): “Blocking anticyclones in these regions were earlier associated with tropospheric forcing of SSWs (Cohen & Jones, 2011; Gar ﬁ nkel et al., 2010; Martius et al., 2009; Woollings et al., 2010).”
A practical method to identify displaced and split stratospheric polar vortex events (2013, background): “These events have been linked to a shift in the midlatitude storm tracks [Thompson and Wallace, 2001], an increase in high-latitude blocking events [Woollings et al., 2010], and an increased chance of cold spells over northern Europe [Tomassini et al., 2012].”
Atmospheric Blocking and Mean Biases in Climate Models (2010, methodology): “Kaas and Branstator (1993), Doblas-Reyes et al. (1998), Scaife and Knight (2008), Hinton et al. (2009), and Woollings et al. (2010) all reported sensitivity of blocking frequency to the climatological mean state in their models and in some cases (Scaife and Knight 2008) this was a dominant factor…”
The predictability of the extratropical stratosphere on monthly time‐scales and its impact on the skill of tropospheric forecasts (2015, background): “Using a different diagnostic of blocking, Woollings et al. (2010) found evidence that European blocking was linked to the amplification of the zonal wave number 2 planetary wave.”
Predictability of downward propagation of major sudden stratospheric warmings (2017, background): “…of the tropospheric eddy-driven jets (e.g. Limpasuvan et al., 2004), an increase in frequency of occurrence of blocking (Kodera and Chiba, 1995; Woollings et al., 2010) and cold air outbreaks over northern Eurasia and northeast North America (e.g. Kolstad et al., 2010; Lehtonen and Karpechko,…”
Unprecedented Arctic ozone loss in 2011 (2011, background): “Day-to-day tropospheric disturbances can lead to stratospheric warming or cooling, depending on their geographical location and the stratospheric vortex structure, which controls their upward propagatio”
Observed connection between stratospheric sudden warmings and the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2012, unknown): “In contrast, blocking in the western NP (i.e., a ridge) leads to a strengthened polar vortex [ Woollings et al. , 2010].”
