Abstract

The atmosphere seems to be something similar all around our planet, the air and clouds that move and surround land. Its behavior, specifically the variability in its lower part, the troposphere, determines the weather. Moving upper we find the stratosphere and upper layers. The role and impact of the stratosphere on tropospheric weather has gotten increasing attention and acknowledgement over the last decades.
