How does the quasi-biennial oscillation affect the stratospheric polar vortex?
<p>The stratospheric polar vortex is weaker in the easterly phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO-E) than in the westerly phase (QBO-W), but the mechanism behind the QBO’s influence is not well understood. The composite difference of the atmospheric state between QBO-E and QBO-W is foun...
