About the research

How does stratospheric variability influence surface weather and the global circulation on subseasonal to seasonal timescales?

Read the full research overview

The Hitchcock Research Group uses dynamical models across a range of complexity and multiple observational datasets to study stratosphere–troposphere coupling. Researchers develop and analyze low-order analytical models and comprehensive climate/forecast models to investigate stratospheric vacillations, polar vortex disturbances, and easterly jet emergence. Projects include protocols for stratospheric nudging and studies of downward influence from sudden stratospheric warmings to quantify predictable surface impacts.
