First Observational Evidence for the Role of Polar Vortex Strength in Modulating the Activity of Planetary Waves in the MLT Region

Zheng Ma et al.

Summary: This article investigates the variations of planetary waves in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region during the 2019/2020 Arctic winter. The study finds that quasi-10-day waves (Q10DWs) are enhanced following sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs), but become unusually weak after the SSW in February 2020. The analysis reveals that the weak Q10DWs in February are largely inhibited by the extremely strong polar vortex and a lack of mesospheric instability.

Arctic Ozone Depletion in 2019/20: Roles of Chemistry, Dynamics and the Montreal Protocol

Wuhu Feng et al.

Summary: Using a three-dimensional chemical transport model and satellite observations, researchers investigated the Arctic ozone depletion in winter/spring 2019/20 and compared it with previous years. Persistently low temperatures led to extensive chlorine activation, while weak dynamical replenishment played a key role in causing very low column ozone values in the region. The study also showed that the gradual recovery of the ozone layer over the past two decades alleviated the polar cap ozone depletion in March 2020 by around 20 DU.

The Unusual Stratospheric Arctic Winter 2019/20: Chemical Ozone Loss From Satellite Observations and TOMCAT Chemical Transport Model

Mark Weber et al.

Summary: This study describes the dynamics and chemistry of the Arctic 2019/20 winter/spring season using satellite observations and chemical models, comparing the results with the previous record Arctic winter 2010/11. The findings suggest that the chemical ozone loss in 2019/20 was similar to that of 2010/11, and the Arctic cap temperatures hit a 40-year low in the winter, indicating further cooling in Arctic winters.

Upper Stratosphere-Mesosphere-Lower Thermosphere Perturbations During the Formation of the Arctic Polar Night Jet in 2019-2020

Renata Lukianova et al.

Summary: Thermal and dynamic disturbances in the polar upper stratospheric/mesosphere-lower thermosphere during the Arctic winter of 2019-2020 were measured and presented. The most severe disturbances occurred from late December to mid-January, with significant wind fluctuations. Throughout the winter, there were notable temperature changes in the upper stratosphere/lower mesosphere.

Lagrangian Analysis of the Northern Stratospheric Polar Vortex Split in April 2020

Jezabel Curbelo et al.

Summary: This study examines the northern stratosphere in April 2020, where the polar vortex split into two cyclonic vortices during a period with record ozone depletion. The research investigates the dynamical evolution leading to the split, the fate of fluid parcels on the vortex boundary, and the ozone distribution between the vortices resulting from the split. The findings highlight the key role of a flow with a special configuration of barriers to the motion of parcels in causing the split.

Chemical Evolution of the Exceptional Arctic Stratospheric Winter 2019/2020 Compared to Previous Arctic and Antarctic Winters

I Wohltmann et al.

Summary: The winter of 2019/2020 in the Arctic stratosphere had the lowest observed ozone mixing ratios and was characterized by an unusually strong and long-lasting polar vortex. Some aspects of this winter resemble both Antarctic and Arctic conditions, such as the chemical processes and chlorine activation reactions. If the air masses had spent slightly more time below the upper temperature limit for polar stratospheric cloud formation and in sunlight, ozone levels in parts of the vortex could have been reduced to near zero values.

Investigation and amelioration of long-term instrumental drifts in water vapor and nitrous oxide measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) and their implications for studies of variability and trends

Nathaniel J. Livesey et al.

Summary: The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on NASA's Aura spacecraft has been measuring key atmospheric species such as H2O and N2O since 2004. However, comparisons have shown drifts in the measurements, particularly in the MLS version 4 water vapor record since around 2010. The new version 5 MLS algorithms have corrected these issues, and scientists are advised to use v5 data in all future studies.
