Influence of the upper stratosphere on polar vortex variability
<p>The polar vortex is a band of strong westerly winds that forms each winter and encircles the pole, high up in the atmosphere in a region known as the stratosphere. However this band of winds is not stable in the northern hemisphere, and often dramatically disintegrates in events known as su...
