Sakaeda, N., Á.F. Adames-Coralliza, and C. Orbe, 2025: Stratosphere-troposphere interactions: The influence of Quasi-Biennial Oscillation on Madden-Julian Oscillation. In Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability. B. Guan, Ed., Elsevier, pp. 303-320, doi:10.1016/B978-0-443-15638-0.00015-0.

The interactions between the troposphere and the stratosphere are important for understanding global climate and weather variability. One such interaction was recently found to occur between the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), revealing a major opportunity for improving subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) prediction skill. Observational studies have shown that the MJO tends to be more active when the QBO has easterly winds in the lower stratosphere. This dependence of the MJO on the QBO influences global teleconnections and predictability on S2S timescale. However, current numerical models struggle to capture the observed coupling between the MJO and the QBO, and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. To guide the future advancement of knowledge of this coupling between the MJO and the QBO, this chapter summarizes its key observed features and reviews how the hypothesized mechanisms explain those features based on both observational and numerical model studies.
