Impacts of the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation on the tropospheric circulation and climate in the Northeast Asia–North Pacific region in early summer

Previous studies have indicated that the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) has a global impact on winter weather, but relatively less attention has been paid to its effect in summer. Using...
