Changes in the polar vortex: Effects on Antarctic total ozone observations at various stations [PDF]
October mean total column ozone data from four Antarctic stations form the basis for understanding the evolution of the ozone hole since 1960. While these stations show similar emergence of the ozone hole from 1960 to 1980, the records are divergent in ...

Evolution of the intensity and duration of the Southern Hemisphere stratospheric polar vortex edge for the period 1979–2020 [PDF]
The intensity and position of the Southern Hemisphere stratospheric polar vortex edge is evaluated as a function of equivalent latitude over the period 1979–2020 on three isentropic levels (475, 550, and 675 K) from ECMWF ERA-Interim reanalysis.

Hyperbolic lines and the stratospheric polar vortex [PDF]
The necessary and sufficient conditions for Lagrangian hyperbolicity recently derived in the literature are reviewed in the light of older concepts of effective local rotation in strain coordinates. In particular, we introduce the simple interpretation of the necessary condition as a constraint on the local angular displacement in strain coordinates ...

Chemical observations of a polar vortex intrusion [PDF]
An intrusion of vortex edge air into the interior of the Arctic polar vortex was observed on the 31 January 2005 flight of the NASA DC-8 aircraft. This intrusion was identified as anomalously high values of ozone by Airborne Raman Ozone, Temperature, and

A Lagrangian study of the Antarctic polar vortex [PDF]
We study the dynamics of passively advected tracers in the Antarctic polar vortex, using the wind fields provided by the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts' (ECMWF) analysis from August to October 1993. Advection on both isopycnal (0.0938 kg/m3) and isentropic surfaces (470°K) is considered.

The impact of transport across the polar vortex edge on Match ozone loss estimates [PDF]
The Match method for the quantification of polar chemical ozone loss is investigated mainly with respect to the impact of the transport of air masses across the vortex edge.

A method for estimating the extent of denitrification of Arctic polar vortex air from tracer-tracer scatter plots [PDF]
A method for estimating the extent of denitrification of Arctic polar vortex air is proposed. Previous estimates of denitrification using tracer-tracer scatter plots have not allowed for mixing-induced changes in tracer-tracer relationships in a ...
