Stratosphere-Troposphere Coupling: The Influence of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation on the Arctic Polar Vortex and Troposphere in Perpetual Winter WACCM Runs

QBO is the dominant mode of interannual variability in the tropical stratosphere, but is not well represented by the vast majority of GCMs. Here we study how an imposed QBO influences the circulation outside the tropical stratosphere
