Scientific paper

The energy source of stratospheric planetary waves is largely due to vertical propagation from the troposphere, but the stratospheric zonal mean state which changes with time is not stable against small perturbations, whereby transient perturbation waves are generated at the expense of the stratospheric zonal mean available potential energy. This theoretical conclusion is obtained based on the quasi-geostrophic model in spherical coordinates which calculates the characteristic solutions for the basic zonal mean state changing with time.
