Abstract

Cross correlation analyses of nine years of daily data reveal the characteristic EP flux signatures and wave-induced mean flow tendencies during wave growth, maturity and decay. Wave source and sink regions are shown, and strong midlatitude Rossby wave radiation towards low latitudes is observed in both instances. Tropospheric waves are shown to influence the zonal mean flow deep into the lower stratosphere (up to 30 mb). Wave-induced mean flow accelerations in the troposphere are to a large degree reversible between wave growth and decay, whereas the stratospheric waves exert a predominant one-way influence only (zonal flow deceleration). -from Author
