Article on how the stratosphere and troposphere interact

[Jim Hughes]

I thought some people might be interested in reading this paper that I ran across through SPARC (Stratospheric Processes And their Role in Climate).

"The stratosphere in the climate system"

I have previously talked about the importance of the stratosphere in relation to weather and climate patterns. It talks about the feedbacks between the stratosphere and the troposphere. You can see that it is an important player and I still feel very strongly that it has been playing a significant role in the heightened level of hurricane activity that we have beens seeing in the Atlantic basin the past decade.

There are many other research papers out there also.
