The authors present a model study of the quasi biennial oscillation signal in observed nitrogen dioxide and ozone data collected between 1984 and 1991 by SAGE II. This 2D model is applied on a grid from pole to pole, from the ground to 80 km altitude. The QBO signal is forced into the model by making the equatorial winds in the model relax toward observations from Singapore.
