Scientific paper

Temperature information on the lower Arctic stratosphere is now available for 48 winters (since 1955/56) and information on the "main state" of the stratospheric winters is available since 1952 (52 winters) when Scherhag discovered the Stratospheric Mid-Winter Warmings. It is well known that the interannual variability of the stratospheric circulation during the Arctic winters is very large, that very cold as well as very warm winters are observed and that it is very difficult to identify temperature trends. Different factors influencing the state of the stratosphere will be discussed with emphasis on the interaction between the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and the sunspot cycle (SSC). A connection to the meridional circulation systems in the troposphere and in the stratosphere is suggested.
