Relationship between QBOs of stratospheric winds, ENSO variability and other atmospheric parameters
Abstract The 50‐mbar tropical zonal wind has a predominent quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) mode of an average period of ca. 28 months, with variation in the range 21–33 months and amplitudes varying within ± 20 per cent. For the Southern Oscillation, Tahiti minus Darwin (T‐D), sea‐surface temperatu...
