Traveling planetary-scale Rossby waves in the winter stratosphere: The role of tropospheric baroclinic instability

The Southern Hemisphere winter stratosphere exhibits prominent traveling planetary-scale Rossby waves, which generally are not able to induce Stratospheric Sudden Warmings. A series of runs of a simplified general circulation model is presented, aimed at better understanding the generation of these...
