• Dynamics, stratospheric ozone, and climate change (2008, unknown): “4 of Shepherd (2002)).”
• THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “An increase in tropopause height is expected from a combination of stratospheric cooling and tropospheric warming induced by greenhouse gas changes [ Shepherd , 2002; Gettelman and Birner , 2007].”
• Variability and trends in the global tropopause estimated from radiosonde data (2006, methodology): “[24] On multidecadal timescales, the global tropopause height rises with a warming troposphere and cooling stratosphere, in both climate models and reanalysis data sets (Sausen and Santer [2003] and Santer et al. [2003a, 2003b, 2004]; see also the discussion by Shepherd [2002] ).”
• Transfer of the solar signal from the stratosphere to the troposphere: Northern winter (2004, unknown): “[24] The warming of the tropical lower stratosphere suggests an increase in the static stability and therefore a lowering of the tropopause [e.g., Shepherd, 2000].”
• Residual circulation trajectories and transit times into the extratropical lowermost stratosphere (2009, background): “The Brewer-Dobson circulation includes mean mass transport and twoway mixing, only the former is related to the residual circulation (see e.g. the glossary25 in Shepherd, 2002).”
• Solar Irradiance Variability and Climate (2013, background): “There are many mechanisms proposed whereby the lower stratosphere may exert a dynamical influence on the troposphere (see reviews by Gerber et al. 2012, Haynes 2005, Shepherd 2002).”
• Observational characteristics of double tropopauses (2007, background): “…key feature of atmospheric structure in both the midlatitudes [Hoskins et al, 1985] and the tropics [Reid and Gage, 1996], and an overall understanding of STE is dependent on an ability to quantify tropopause structure and variability [e.g. Holton et al., 1995; Shepherd, 2002; Stohl et al., 2003].”
• Fine‐scale structure of the extratropical tropopause region (2006, methodology): “Time averages for each radiosonde station are computed using the tropopause as a common reference level for all vertical profiles within the mean.”
• The Role of Eddies in Driving the Tropospheric Response to Stratospheric Heating Perturbations (2009, background): “In recent years evidence has accumulated that changes in the stratosphere can have a significant impact on the troposphere and that there are many climate forcings that can potentially have an impact on tropospheric circulation through a stratospheric pathway (Shepherd 2002; Haynes 2005).”

• Estimation of Gravity Wave Momentum Flux and Phase Speeds from Quasi-Lagrangian Stratospheric Balloon Flights. Part II: Results from the Vorcore Campaign in Antarctica (2008, background): “The role of gravity waves (GWs) in forcing the global-scale circulation and the thermal structure of the middle atmosphere has long been recognized (e.g., Holton 1983; Shepherd 2002 ).”
• High‐latitude influence of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (2014, background): “…Austin et al., 2003; Shepherd, 2008), stratosphere–troposphere coupling including the possible downward influence of the stratosphere on the troposphere (e.g. Baldwin and Dunkerton, 2001; Shepherd, 2002), and the seasonal predictability of NH winter weather regimes (e.g. Thompson et al., 2002).”
• Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, background): “The dynamical coupling across the tropopause (Shepherd 2002) means that stratospheric forcing can influence the underlying troposphere (e.g., Hartley et al. 1998; Song and Robinson 2004; Matthes et al. 2006; Haigh and Blackburn 2006), and under some circumstances, robust tropospheric responses are…”
• The predictability of the extratropical stratosphere on monthly time‐scales and its impact on the skill of tropospheric forecasts (2015, background): “For a detailed review of stratospheric dynamics and stratosphere–troposphere coupling in particular, other review papers are available (e.g. Shepherd, 2002; Haynes, 2005; Gerber et al., 2012).”
• Influence of the Precipitating Energetic Particles on Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate (2012, background): “The details of the involved mechanisms have not been clearly identified (Shepherd, 2002), but the analyses of observational data (e.”
