The strong coupling events, anomalies in both the stratospheric and tropospheric polar vortices, can be classified into four configurations, each representing the distinct characteristics of planetary wave vertical propagation and tropospheric circulation anomalies. The findings reveal the following patterns: (1) Strong stratospheric polar vortex and weak tropospheric polar vortex periods are associated with anomalous downward E-P flux from the stratosphere to the troposphere, predominantly induced by planetary waves 1 and 2. Warm anomalies occur along the North Atlantic coasts, while cold anomalies are evident over Eastern Europe and East Asia at the surface. (2) Weak stratospheric polar vortex and strong tropospheric polar vortex periods exhibit anomalous upward E-P flux in high latitudes, with dominant wave 1, and anomalous downward E-P flux in the middle latitudes, dominated by wave 2. Warm anomalies are observed over North America, Western Europe, and the northern side of the Gulf of Oman at the surface. (3) Strong stratospheric polar vortex and strong tropospheric polar vortex periods feature anomalous downward E-P flux in high latitudes, dominated by wave 1, and anomalous upward E-P flux in middle latitudes, with a wave 2 predominance. Warm anomalies prevail over Northeast Asia, Southern Europe, and North America at the surface. (4) Weak stratospheric polar vortex and weak tropospheric polar vortex periods display anomalous upward E-P flux in mid-to-high latitudes, predominantly with wave 1. In contrast to the tropospheric circulation anomalies observed in the third category, this pattern results in the presence of cold anomalies over Northeast Asia, Southern Europe, and North America.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15184367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T10:26:43Z","timestamp":1693909603000},"page":"4367","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Types of Coupling between the Stratospheric Polar Vortex and Tropospheric Polar Vortex, and Tropospheric Circulation Anomalies Associated with Each Type in Boreal Winter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lixin","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3846-5415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunhua","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Meteorological Disaster, Ministry of Education (KLME)\/School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Reading Academy, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1141","DOI":"10.1029\/94GL01010","article-title":"Observed correlations between winter-mean tropospheric and stratospheric circulation anomalies","volume":"21","author":"Baldwin","year":"1994","journal-title":"Geophys.
