Sensitivity of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings to Previous Stratospheric Conditions

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2017
AbstractThe Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model, version 4 (WACCM4), is used to investigate the influence of stratospheric conditions on the development of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). To this end, targeted experiments are performed on selected modeled SSW events.

The Influence of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings on Extreme European Electricity Demand

Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) provide a source of surface predictability up to several weeks in advance. They generally precede cold weather across the northern midlatitudes, including extremes. When it is cold, demand for heating typically increases electricity demand.

Stratospheric sudden warmings in an idealized GCM [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2014
AbstractAn idealized general circulation model (GCM) with an analytically described Newtonian cooling term is employed to study the occurrence rate of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) over a wide range of parameters. In particular, the sensitivity of the SSW occurrence rates to orographic forcing and both relaxation temperature and damping rate is ...

Ionospheric F‐Layer Scintillation Variabilities Over the American Sector During Sudden Stratospheric Warming Events

Space Weather, 2021
The present study investigates the ionospheric F‐layer scintillation responses in the American sector (90°W–0°, ±50° dip latitude) during the Northern Hemisphere winter sudden stratospheric warming events of 2007–2008, 2008–2009, 2009–2010, and 2012–2013.

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

The impact of the mixing properties within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex on ozone loss in spring [PDF]

, 2001
Calculations of equivalent length from an artificial advected tracer provide new insight into the isentropic transport processes occurring within the Antarctic stratospheric vortex. These calculations show two distinct regions of approximately equal area:

The influence of the equatorial upper stratosphere on stratospheric sudden warmings [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2003
A stratosphere mesosphere model is used in a set of idealized experiments to investigate the sensitivity of the Northern Hemisphere winter stratospheric flow to the equatorial zonal winds in the upper and the lower stratosphere. Sensitivity is found to the lower stratospheric winds (below 40 km) only in the early part of the model integration as the ...

Middle‐Atmosphere Dynamics Observed With a Portable Muon Detector

Earth and Space Science, 2019
In the past years, large particle physics experiments have shown that muon rate variations detected in underground laboratories are sensitive to regional, middle‐atmosphere temperature variations.

Connections Between Stratospheric GWs, the Polar Vortex, and MSTIDs From Longitudinally Distinct Regions During Nine Arctic Winters

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Midlatitude medium‐scale traveling ionospheric disturbances (MSTIDs) are a common source of ionospheric variability that may influence GNSS‐based positioning and can disrupt HF‐communication channels. Here, we present a comprehensive nine‐winter analysis (2014–2023) that establishes a robust connection between stratospheric gravity waves (GWs)

Dynamic Coupling of the Stratosphere With the Troposphere and Sudden Stratospheric Warmings [PDF]

Monthly Weather Review, 1973
Abstract Numerical time integrations of a nine-layer, quasi-geostrophic, highly truncated spectral model of the atmosphere are used to study tropospheric-stratospheric interaction with particular regard to sudden stratospheric warmings. The model is global, extends to 0.05 mb (71 km) with roughly 10-km resolution in the stratosphere, and includes an ...
