Extratropical Wave Coupling between the Troposphere and Stratosphere
Contact: Tiffany Shaw (tas2163@columbia.edu)
Summary: Planetary waves represent the most important source of dynamical coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere. This research group seeks to examine the simulation of planetary scale waves including their upward and downward propagation and related impacts on the zonal-mean flow. The group also seeks to understand how changes in greenhouse gases and stratospheric ozone impact planetary wave propagation and consequently stratosphere-troposphere coupling.
