1 On the QBO-Solar-Relationship throughout the Year Karin Labitzke, Institut für Meteorologie, Freie Universität Berlin SORC-Sedona-Sep-2011.ppt
2 Today, I want to tell you about the importance of the QBO and of the Sun for the understanding of the variability of the stratosphere in summer and in winter. 2
3 Vertical meridional sections of the standard deviations of temperatures (upper panel) and heights (lower panel) < 1K < 1 K <1.3 K JUL Temp (K) for JULY ; n=59 y Height (Labitzke and van Loon, 1999) < 40m 3
4 1953 Quasi-Biennial Oscillation QBO ( ) Time- height section of monthly mean zonal winds (m/s) at equatorial stations: Canton Island (3 S / 172 W) (Jan 1953 Aug 1967); Gan/Maledive Islands (1 S /73 ) (Sep 1967 Dec 1975); Singapore (1 N /104 ) (since Jan 1976). Isopleths are at 10 m/s intervals, westerlies are shaded ; (updated from Naujokat 1986). (grey = west; white = east) 4
5 The Quasi - Biennial Oscillation ( ) QBO-definition for the winter: (50+40hPa in Jan+Feb) / 4; (Holton and Tan, 1980); grey = west wind, white = east wind 5
6 Values of the Solar Constant of Radiation (calories) for the Period , (Abbot et al.,1913) (general understanding at the time: in solar maximum less radiation because of many spots (dirty) and in minimum more radiation because of clean face 6 of the sun)
7 Percentage UV Radiation Differences between Solar Maxima and Minima Solar Maxima: more UV radiation more UV = more Ozone in the stratosphere Data from Lean et al.,
8 (positively correlated with the UV part of the solar spectrum) Monthly mean (blue) and smoothed (red), positively 8 correlated with UV part of the solar spectrum
9 Today, there is general agreement that the variable sun is responsible for a large part of the variability of the temperatures and winds,observed especially in the stratosphere over the tropics and subtropics, in summer, but the phase of the QBO must be considered, too. 9

20 So far, I concentrated on the Northern Summer, because I think that the solar signal is very clear and convincing during this time of year. I am turning now to the Northern Winter. Here we are dealing with the Arctic Polar Vortex and with the Major Midwinter Warmings. They are responsible for the tele-connections between the Arctic and the Tropics. 20

26 strongest MMWs in east min + 5 coldest winters in west min 90S 90N Deviations of the zonal mean temperatures (K) in (Jan+Feb)/2 from the long-term mean (1968 through 2002); (shading larger than 1 (2) standard deviations) -8 nodal point lines: ~ 30S and ~ 55N in both cases 26
27 - east/min: 5 strongest MMWs + 11 K Composites of Temperature Anomalies (Jan+Feb)/2 ~ ~ west/max: 5 strongest MMWs + 8 K ~ ~ 27
28 Conclusion for the Winter The QBO and 11-year Sun-Spot Cycle (SSC) explain a significant portion of the variance of the winter monthly values of Arctic temperatures, winds, and geopotential heights. The behavior of the Arctic stratosphere is strongly related to the QBO phase and to the SSC, yet other factors such as internal variance also play an important role. This emphasizes the probabilistic nature of forecasting Arctic stratosphere behavior. 28
