Simulations of stratospheric sudden warmings in the Berlin troposphere-stratosphere-mesosphere GCM

Stratospheric sudden warming events in the Northern Hemisphere of the Berlin TSM GCM are investigated. In about 50% of the simulated years (13 out of 28), major midwinter warmings occur. This agrees well with observations but, whereas real events tend to occur approximately every second season, thos...
