Characterizing the Variability and Extremes of the Stratospheric Polar Vortices Using 2D Moment Analysis
The mean state, variability, and extreme variability of the stratospheric polar vortices, with an emphasis on the Northern Hemisphere (NH) vortex, are examined using two-dimensional moment analysis and extreme value theory (EVT). The use of moments as an analysis tool gives rise to information about...
