The advective Brewer–Dobson circulation in the ERA5 reanalysis: climatology, variability, and trends

The stratospheric Brewer-Dobson circulation (BDC) is an important element of climate as it determines the transport and distributions of key radiatively active atmospheric trace gases, which affect the Earth's radiation budget and surface climate.
