Solar Cycle - QBO Effects and Planetary-Scale Waves

提出的研究旨在检查太阳- qbo（准两年振荡）效应的行星尺度方面，继续先前报道的更一般的工作。具体来说，这项研究将试图为驱动机制提供证据，其中行星尺度波充当QBO信号的“载体”或“放大器”。合适的行星波活动指数将用于探索太阳、对流层和QBO变化之间的关系。预计，如果行星波是太阳-天气机制的主要因素，它们可能比使用太阳通量- qbo复合指数更好地诊断该机制，后者迄今已提供了许多信息

The proposed study is intended to examine the planetary- scale aspects of the solar-QBO (quasi-biannual oscillation) effects, continuing the more general work reported earlier. Specifically, this study will attempt to provide evidence for a driver mechanism, in which planetary scale waves act as a "carrier" or "amplifier" of the QBO signal. Suitable indices of planetary wave activity will be used to explore the relationships between solar, tropospheric, and QBO variations. It is expected that if planetary waves are the prime agents of a sun-weather mechanism, they may provide a better diagnostic of the mechanism than the use of a composite solar flux-QBO index, which has provided much of the information up to date.***//
