摘　　要：Dynamic study is undertaken of the tropical atmospheric CISK-Rossby wave genesis and propagation mechanisms, the vertical structure of the low-frequency wave and the basic characteristics and constraint of the vertical transport of momentum and wave energy fluxes in relation to the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of the stratospheric zonal winds over the tropics in the context of a baroclinic quasi-geostrophic model. Results suggest that in the properly posed thermal conditions and zonal belt there exist two kinds of CISK-Rossby waves of low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF), travelling zonally in opposite directions, which act as sources responsible for upward transferring momentum and wave energy fluxes for easterly and westerly perturbations in such a way as to provide required momentum and energy for the stratospheric QBO genesis and maintenance. The present study offers interpretations for some of the fundamental observational facts of the QBO and proposes new ideas of the QBO generation mechanism.Dynamic study is undertaken of the tropical atmospheric CISK-Rossby wave genesis and propagation mechanisms, the vertical structure of the low-frequency wave and the basic characteristics and constraint of the vertical transport of momentum and wave energy fluxes in relation to the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of the stratospheric zonal winds over the tropics in the context of a baroclinic quasi-geostrophic model.
