  The IceCube Neutrino Observatory detects atmospheric muon neutrinos above 100
GeV at a rate of about 100 000 per year. These neutrinos originate from decays
of charged pions and kaons in cosmic ray air showers. Their flux depends on the
probability of production and decay of the parent mesons, and is thus sensitive
to the stratospheric temperature. Neutrino rates from 8 years of operation of
the detector are correlated with the atmospheric temperature profile as
measured by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS). An analysis of this
correlation provides a test of models of hadronic interactions in atmospheric
air showers. This analysis of neutrinos complements the analysis of the
correlation of atmospheric muons with temperature that is presented in another
paper at this conference.
