Variations in global zonal wind from 18 to 100 km due to solar activity and the quasi-biennial oscillation and El Niño–Southern Oscillation during 2002–2019

Abstract ∘  S to 50∘  N and during 2002–2019 using the gradient wind theory and SABER temperatures and modified by meteor radar observations at the Equator. The dataset captures the main feature of global monthly mean zonal wind and can be used to study the variations (i.e., annual, semi-annual, ter-annual, and linear) of zonal wind and the responses of zonal wind to quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and solar activity (F 10.7 F 10.7 F 10.7 F 10.7 ∘  N are absent in MerU during October–January. The discussions on the possible influences of the temporal intervals and sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) on the variations and responses of BU illustrate the following: (1) the seasonal variations and the responses to QBO are almost independent on the temporal intervals selected; (2) the responses to ENSO and F 10.7 are robust but slightly depend on the temporal intervals; (3) the linear changes of both BU and MerU depend strongly on the temporal intervals; (4) SSWs affect the magnitudes but do not affect the hemispheric asymmetry of the variations and responses of BU at least in the monthly mean sense. The variations and responses of global zonal wind to various factors are based on BU, which is derived from observations, and thus provide a good complement to model studies and ground-based observations.
