Does the coupling of the mesospheric semiannual oscillation with the quasi-biennial oscillation provide predictability of Antarctic sudden stratospheric warmings?

During September 2019 there was a sudden stratospheric warming over Antarctica, which brought disruption to the usually stable winter vortex. The mesospheric winds reversed and temperatures in the stratosphere rose by over 50 K. Whilst this was only the second SSW in the Southern Hemisphere (SH), th...
