Descent rate models of the synchronization of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation by the annual cycle in tropical upwelling
The response of the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) to an imposed mean upwelling with a periodic modulation is studied, by modelling the dynamics of the zero wind line at the equator using a class of equations known as ‘descent rate’ models. These are simple mathematical models that capture the ess...
