Recent studies demonstrated how accurate beryllium 7 can be used as proxy to predict seasonal weather, in particular Indian monsoons, climate change patterns such as tropopause height changes, tropopause breathing and Jet Stream stalling.

Beryllium 7 studies also prove that climate change phenomena are not driven by solar flux or earth magnetic field but are only partially influenced by them.

In this work we will compare recent tropopause height data with Beryllium 7 in order to build a comparative scale between the 2 parameters, including a focus on QBO (quasi-biennual oscillation) to quantify the effect of QBO on the analysed beryllium 7 data.
