The stratospheric polar vortex and sudden stratospheric warmings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The polar vortex is the dominant feature of the wintertime stratosphere. Sometimes, it is unusually strong, while at others it is very weak or destroyed in an event known as a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). Both can play an important role in driving

Attribution of subseasonal cold‐spell forecasts to remote drivers using nudging experiments

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Nudging experiments with the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model show that Northern European cold spells can arise from different drivers. Some events are predominantly influenced by stratospheric dynamics, while others also involve important tropospheric processes.

Enhancement of Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter associated with the sudden stratospheric warming

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2023
Surface ozone is an important pollutant causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Here, we find that the Arctic surface ozone during the 2020–2021 winter was evidently enhanced after the sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) onset based on reanalysis ...

Evaluation of the E3SM Version 3 Stratosphere Performance

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The interactions between the stratosphere and the troposphere have significant impacts on human activities and Earth system variability. In the third release version of the low‐resolution Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv3), the representation of the stratosphere is improved through vertical grid refinement in the lower stratosphere ...

A vortex dynamics perspective on stratospheric sudden warmings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A vortex dynamics approach is used to study the underlying mechanisms leading to polar vortex breakdown during stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs).

Construction of a Global Atmospheric Refractivity Model for Optical Wavelengths Based on Temporal Evolution Characteristics

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric refractivity model accuracy is important for refraction correction, starlight refraction navigation, and related optoelectronic applications. To address the insufficient understanding of refractivity temporal evolution and the lack of clear criteria for selecting model temporal resolution, this study constructs a global four ...

Modeling of the effect of internal gravity waves on upper atmospheric conditions during sudden stratospheric warming

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2016
We present results of modeling of the effect of internal gravity waves (IGW), excited in the region of development of a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW), on upper atmospheric conditions.

AI Emulation of Stochastic Sudden Stratospheric Warming With Interpretable Latent Structure

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Rare weather regime transitions pose a challenge for data‐driven modeling due to class imbalance. In this study, we develop a probabilistic deep learning emulator for a prototypical system with regime transitions, the stochastic Holton–Mass (HM) model of stratospheric variability, and analyze the structure of its learned latent space.

Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) climatic contribution to winter temperature in Belarus: Case of SSW 2017/2018

open access: yes, 2020
The influence of stratospheric processes on the troposphere is defined by a multifactorial mechanism containing various geophysical and photochemical processes. This interaction determines the weather and climate of a particular region of the Earth.

The Influence of Sudden Stratospheric Warmings on Extreme European Electricity Demand

open access: yesMeteorological 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.
