Possible Causes of the Occurrence of a Rare Antarctic Sudden Stratospheric Warming in 2019

Atmosphere, 2022
A minor Antarctic sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) with the strongest circulation changes since the first major SSW over the Antarctic was recorded in 2002 occurred in early September 2019.

Rare Lightning and Convection Characteristics During Two Successive Tornadoes in Southern China

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systematic investigations into lightning characteristics of tornado storms in China remain scarce. This study comprehensively analyses rare lightning behaviour and overshooting top characteristics for two successive tornadoes during a long‐lived supercell in southern China on 27 April 2024.

Enhanced stratosphere-troposphere and tropics-Arctic couplings in the 2023/24 winter

Communications Earth & Environment
The stratosphere-troposphere and the tropics-Arctic couplings were intermittently enhanced in the 2023/24 winter. Here we used ERA5 reanalysis data and found that due to the amplification of planetary wavenumber 1 and 2 pulses, three displacement-type ...

A comparative case study of low-latitude ionosphere–thermosphere responses to successive wave-1-dominant and wave-2-dominant sudden stratospheric warming events in 2022 using the ICON and GOLD missions

Earth and Planetary Physics
Previous studies have demonstrated that sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events can have a substantial impact on the Earth’s ionosphere–thermosphere (IT) system.

Surface hazards in North-west Europe following sudden stratospheric warming events

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) have been linked to surface temperature anomalies, but how these connect to changes in the likelihood of specific weather extremes and their associated weather patterns remains uncertain. While, on average, it is true

Modulation of Stratosphere‐to‐Troposphere Transport of Ozone by North Pacific Weather Patterns

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Stratosphere‐to‐troposphere transport (STT) of ozone is a major natural source of tropospheric ozone and is tightly linked to both stratospheric and tropospheric circulations. However, the complex interactions of drivers make it challenging to understand the subseasonal variability of STT.

A Minimal, Adiabatic Example of Sudden Stratospheric Warming

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) are extreme weather events that can significantly impact weather patterns on short to subseasonal to seasonal timescales. In this study, we present a new idealized test case of a Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) event

An Explanation of the Poleward Mass Flux in the Stratosphere

Atmosphere
This paper offers a new perspective on the explanation of the poleward mass flux in the stratosphere. This mass flux represents the upper leg of the so-called Brewer–Dobson circulation. This new perspective is based on the following hypothesis.

Ozone Changes Due To Sudden Stratospheric Warming‐Induced Variations in the Intensity of Brewer‐Dobson Circulation: A Composite Analysis Using Observations and Chemical‐Transport Model

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
We quantify the changes in the intensity of Brewer‐Dobson Circulation (BDC) during sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) and its impact on the tropical stratospheric thermal structure and ozone distribution by composite analysis using observations and a ...

SuPerPoV: Score and Evolution of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex via Persistent Homology

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Classifying the stratospheric polar vortex provides predictability for surface weather on extended‐range timescales. However, all definitions of these events proposed in over 60 years of study depend on empirically chosen parameters and yield different results when they change.
