Kinetic Energy and Quasi-biennial Oscillation
The modulation of the vertical flux of kinetic energy to the stratosphere by the pressure-work effect at 100 mb is compared with variations in the hemispheric kinetic cnergy, the horizontal momentum and heat transports a t “low” latitudes, and the tropical zonal wind and temperature for the lower stratosphere. It is deduced that the variation of the vertical flux of geopotential is in phase wit...
متن کاملNote concerning the Period of the Quasi-biennial Oscillation
The period of the quasi-biennial oscillation is examined through the use of a harmonic procedure which allows one to examine periods of interest without omission of any data. On the basis of 8, and 5th years, of mean-monthly zonal-wind and temperature data in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, respectively, it is found that: (1) A quasi-biennial oscillation in zonal-wind exists in the tropo...
متن کاملVariation with Longitude of the Quasi-biennial Oscillation
Daily data at 16 stations along five latitudes from 13"N. to 33"s. were carefully examined a t the 50-, lo&, and 500-mb. levels for evidence of longitudinal phase progression of the quasi-biennial oscillation (&BO). At 50 mb. there is evidence of west to east progression although there are many irregularities and much uncertainty. The phase dates differ by days a t low latitudes. At 100 and 500...
متن کاملLength-of-Day Variations Caused by El Nino-Southern Oscillation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation.
Two prominent interannual atmospheric fluctuations, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation in the troposphere-ocean system and the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in the equatorial stratosphere, account for most of the observed interannual length-of-day (LOD) variation from 1964 through 1987, with a relative contribution of about 2 to 1. Thus the atmosphere-LOD connection extends from seasonal and shorter...
متن کاملInfluence of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation on the Extratropical Winter Stratosphere in an Atmospheric General Circulation Model and in Reanalysis Data
The interannual variability of the stratospheric polar vortex during winter in both hemispheres is observed to correlate strongly with the phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in tropical stratospheric winds. It follows that the lack of a spontaneously generated QBO in most atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) adversely affects the nature of polar variability in such models. ...
