Response of stratospheric water vapor and ozone to the unusual timing of El Niño and the QBO disruption in 2015–2016

<p>The stratospheric circulation determines the transport and lifetime of key trace gases in a changing climate, including water vapor and ozone, which radiatively impact surface climate. The unusually warm El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event aligned with a disrupted Quasi-Biennial O...
