A quasi-geostrophic, linear, steady state model was developed to examine the tropospheric forcing and the resulting vertical propagation of stationary planetary waves. The model extends from the earth's surface to 100 km. The calculated wave structure in the troposphere is sensitive to changes in the tropospheric static stability. Large values of the static stability inhibit the heat transports in the troposphere by impeding the vertical flow of energy. The wave response in the troposphere and stratosphere is also sensitive to changes in the strength of the polar night jet. This indicates that changes in the ozone content or distribution of the upper atmosphere may lead to climate change.
