A simple kinematic model for the Lagrangian description of relevant nonlinear processes in the stratospheric polar vortex

In this work, we study the Lagrangian footprint of the planetary waves present in the Southern Hemisphere stratosphere during the exceptional sudden Stratospheric warming event that took place during September 2002. Our focus is on constructing a simple kinematic model that retains the fundament...
