Temporal Variability of Lower Stratosphere Temperature
Inter-monthly to inter-decadal global variability of lower stratosphere temperature (LST) is studied in order to improve current knowledge on its variability and trends, as well as natural and anthropogenic influences upon it.

Inter-monthly to inter-decadal global variability of lower stratosphere temperature (LST) is studied in order to improve current knowledge on its variability and trends, as well as natural and anthropogenic influences upon it. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with S-mode Varimax rotated PCA were used. The first seven components, which explain 70% of variance make it possible to determine homogeneous LST behaviour zones with little overlap between areas, and practically no unclassified areas. Composite time series, referred to as reference series, in the core of the subregions defined by each of the PCs, were calculated in order to obtain the temporal patterns. The equatorial-tropical zone and the subtropical area display warmings caused by the eruptions of El Chichon and Mt. Pinatubo volcanoes as well as the strong influence of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) which leads to equatorial warming (cooling) in the west (east) phase and cooling (warming) in subtropical latitudes. Only low latitudes show some kind of global teleconnection between hemispheres. Significant correlation with several ocean/atmosphere index time-series like ENSO, Antarctic and Arctic Oscillations (AAO, AO), Arctic Circumpolar Vortex was detected over latitudinally separate regions.
