Structural changes in the shallow and transition branch of the Brewer–Dobson circulation induced by El Niño
<p>The stratospheric Brewer–Dobson circulation (BDC) determines the transport and atmospheric lifetime of key radiatively active trace gases and further impacts surface climate through downward coupling. Here, we quantify the variability in the lower stratospheric BDC induced by the El Niño–So...
