Dynamic configuration before quasi-biennial oscillation disruptions revealed from the perspective of planetary waves

Abstract The zonal wind in the tropical stratosphere shows a quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), which is an important reference for climate prediction and stratosphere-troposphere interaction. However, the periodicity of the QBO was disrupted during the 2015/16 and 2019/20 Northern Hemisphere winters...
