Influence of the quasi-biennial oscillation and El Nino-Southern Oscillation on the frequency of sudden stratospheric warmings

Stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) are a major source of variability during Northern Hemisphere winter. The frequency of occurrence of SSWs is influenced by El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), the 11 year solar cycle, and volcanic eruptions. This study investi...
