Short summary
We investigate how stratospheric winds influence high clouds using satellite observations and climate models. These winds, known as the quasi-biennial oscillation, alter meteorological conditions in the troposphere such as upper-tropospheric temperature, stability, and humidity, and clouds respond to these changes. Reducing model biases requires improving cloud sensitivity to these factors. This framework could also help assess cloud responses to stratospheric cooling driven by climate change.
