Contrasting meridional structures of stratospheric and tropospheric planetary wave variability in the Northern Hemisphere

The meridional structures of stratospheric and tropospheric planetary wave variability (PWV) over the Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropics were investigated and compared using reanalysis data. By performing the spherical double Fourier series expansion of geopotential height data, the horizontal st...
