The authors look for interannual variations in circulation patterns in the stratosphere/troposphere circulation and sea surface temperatures within the Meteorological Research Institute coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model. They are able to identify two modes in this model which exhibit this type of variability. One involves the stratospheric polar vortex, coupled via tropospheric circulation to SST variations. The second mode involves El Nino type phenomena coupled into the tropospheric subtropical jet.
