Role of equatorial waves and convective gravity waves in the 2015/16 quasi-biennial oscillation disruption

<p>In February 2016, the descent of the westerly phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) was unprecedentedly disrupted by the development of easterly winds. Previous studies have shown that extratropical Rossby waves propagating into the deep tropics were the major cause of the 2015/16 Q...
