Global meteorological analyses from an assimilation of operational and research observations spanning the ~0-90~km altitude range confirm earlier tentative suggestions that high-altitude winds throughout the upper mesosphere reversed a week before the ...

The 2009–2010 Arctic stratospheric winter – general evolution, mountain waves and predictability of an operational weather forecast model [PDF]
The relatively warm 2009–2010 Arctic winter was an exceptional one as the North Atlantic Oscillation index attained persistent extreme negative values. Here, selected aspects of the Arctic stratosphere during this winter inspired by the analysis of the ...

Increased Frequency, Duration, and Area of Winter Polynyas North of Greenland in a Warming Climate
Abstract Polynyas play a crucial role in the polar marine ecosystems and climate system. Four winter polynya events north of Greenland have been observed, but the response of winter polynyas to climate warming remains unknown. This study investigates projected changes in winter polynyas in the Wandel Sea north of Greenland using the AWI‐CM3 climate ...

Comparison of Key Characteristics of Remarkable SSW Events in the Southern and Northern Hemisphere
An exceptionally strong sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) during September 2019 was observed. Because SSW in the SH is very rare, comparison with the only recorded major SH SSW is done.

The study illustrates the evidence of dynamical coupling between the high‐latitude sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) events that occurred in three consecutive winter seasons and the concomitant changes in the wind pattern in the lower stratosphere and ...

Dynamical Precursors for Statistical Prediction of Stratospheric Sudden Warming Events [PDF]
This work explores dynamical arguments for statistical prediction of stratospheric sudden warming events (SSWs). Based on climate model output, it focuses on two predictors, upward wave activity in the lower stratosphere and meridional potential ...

Unprecedented Extreme Dust Storm Triggered by Stratosphere‐Troposphere Interactions
Abstract An unprecedented dust storm struck southern China in April 2025, affecting hundreds of millions of people in regions rarely impacted by dust storms and challenging existing understanding of lower‐latitude dust storms. Here, we show that polar stratospheric signals enabled this event by modulating tropospheric teleconnection, revealing an ...

We examine the zonal wavenumber spectrum of planetary (Rossby) waves in the atmosphere above Antarctica in each of two contrasting years: in 2019, when there was a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW), and in 2020 when the Antarctic stratospheric vortex ...

Abstract Near‐space temperature is crucial for atmospheric dynamics and aerospace applications, yet data sets with refined vertical resolution remain scarce. We present the Atmospheric Spatio‐Temporal Reconstruction Network (AtmoST‐Net), which integrates high‐resolution SABER observations with dual‐source reanalysis, combining non‐uniform vertical ...

Abstract The Quasi‐Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of the tropical stratospheric zonal winds influences tracer transport, the stratospheric polar vortex, and extra‐tropical surface variability. However, the response of the QBO to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations is still uncertain.
