abstract = {Based on simulations with the Chemical Lagrangian Model of
the Stratosphere (CLaMS) for the period 1979–2013, with
model transport driven by the ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis,
we discuss the impact of the El Niño Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) on the variability of the dynamics, water vapor,
ozone, and mean age of air (AoA) in the tropical lower
stratosphere during boreal winter. Our zonally resolved
analysis at the 390 K potential temperature level reveals
that not only (deseasonalized) ENSO-related temperature
anomalies are confined to the tropical Pacific
(180–300°E) but also anomalous wave propagation and
breaking, as quantified in terms of the Eliassen-Palm (EP)
flux divergence, with strongest local contribution during
the La Niña phase. This anomaly is coherent with respective
anomalies of water vapor (±0.5 ppmv) and ozone (±100 ppbv)
derived from CLaMS being in excellent agreement with the
Aura Microwave Limb Sounder observations. Thus, during El
Niño a more zonally symmetric wave forcing drives a deep
branch of the Brewer-Dobson (BD) circulation. During La
Niña this forcing increases at lower levels (≈390 K) over
the tropical Pacific, likely influencing the shallow branch
of the BD circulation. In agreement with previous studies,
wet (dry) and young (old) tape recorder anomalies propagate
upward in the subsequent months following El Niño (La
Niña). Using CLaMS, these anomalies are found to be around
+0.3 (−0.2) ppmv and −4 (+4) months for water vapor and
AoA, respectively. The AoA ENSO anomaly is more strongly
affected by the residual circulation (≈2/3) than by eddy
mixing (≈1/3).},
