• SAL—A Novel Quality Measure for the Verification of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (2008, methodology): “Rmax denotes the maximum value of precipitation that occurs within the domain D. Grid points belonging to an object are selected using an algorithm developed previously for the identification of coherent potential vorticity features (Wernli and Sprenger 2007).”

• Breaking Waves at the Tropopause in the Wintertime Northern Hemisphere: Climatological Analyses of the Orientation and the Theoretical LC1/2 Classification (2007, methodology): “The climatology has been calculated by applying the streamer detection routine of Wernli and Sprenger (2007) to the 40-yr European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis (ERA-40) dataset (1958–2002; Uppala et al. 2005).”
• Chemical and dynamical discontinuity at the extratropical tropopause based on START08 and WACCM analyses (2011, background): “cutoffs is also observed in the same region above the Pacific in DJF and the eastern United States in JJA [Wernli and Sprenger, 2007; Sprenger et al., 2007].”
• The North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (2018, background): “They form frequently over the eastern North Atlantic and Europe (e.g., Wernli and Sprenger 2007), and several studies have reported their relevance for triggering HIW, in particular heavy precipitation (e.g., Martius et al. 2006; Chaboureau and Claud 2006; Grams and Blumer 2015).”
