Which season permits planetary waves to reach the stratosphere?
Answer: C
Only in winter are the stratospheric winds westerly and weak enough for the longest planetary waves to propagate upward, which is why sudden stratospheric warmings occur only then. Summer easterlies block propagation completely, making the summer stratosphere quiescent. The equinoctial transitions are brief and the winds are changing rapidly through them.
