Recent research has revealed that the stratosphere influences medium- and long-range weather prediction, sometimes strongly (NAS 2010). The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) one of the most prominent modes of intraseasonal tropospheric variability extending from the subtropical Atlantic to the Arctic...
