The Troposphere-to-Stratosphere Transport Caused by a Rossby Wave Breaking Event over the Tibetan Plateau in Mid-March 2006

Jinyao Zhu et al.

Summary: This study investigated a Rossby wave breaking (RWB) event and its impact on stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) over the Tibetan Plateau in mid-March 2006, using reanalysis data, satellite observations of ozone concentration, and a Lagrangian trajectory simulation. The results showed that the amplified amplitude of the Rossby wave due to increased eddy heat flux from the subtropical westerly jet contributed to the occurrence of the cyclonic RWB event. The cyclonic motion of the isentropic potential vorticity cut the tropical tropospheric air mass into the extratropical stratosphere, completing the stratosphere-troposphere mass exchange.

Enhancement of Arctic surface ozone during the 2020-2021 winter associated with the sudden stratospheric warming

Yan Xia et al.

Summary: Surface ozone in the Arctic was significantly enhanced during the 2020-2021 winter after the onset of sudden stratospheric warming (SSW). The enhanced ozone is primarily due to the strengthening of stratosphere-to-troposphere transport associated with SSW. The SSW also leads to positive anomalies in surface ozone in the northern midlatitudes, which are related to cold air outbreaks.

The Different Characteristics of the Mass Transport between the Stratosphere and the Troposphere in Two Types of Cyclonic Rossby Wave-Breaking Events

Huiping Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the air particle pathways and weather systems in two types of equatorward and poleward cyclonic Rossby wave-breaking (CWB) events using ERA5 reanalysis data and trajectory analysis. The exchange of mass between the stratosphere and troposphere in both CWBs was estimated and discussed. The results showed that high potential vorticity (PV) particles were mainly transported poleward, while low PV particles displayed vertical motion and some of them moved southward. Only a small percentage of particles underwent stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE), with the majority of high PV particles remaining in the stratosphere and low PV particles remaining in the troposphere. In equatorward CWB, STE mainly occurred 24-48 hours post breaking, with a maximum mass transport of approximately 1.54 x 10(13) kg. In poleward CWB, STE mainly occurred within 0-18 hours post breaking, with a maximum mass transport of approximately 1.48 x 10(13) kg.

The semi-annual oscillation (SAO) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS)

Ming Shangguan et al.

Summary: Both the scientific and operational communities are increasingly interested in the subseasonal to seasonal variations of weather and climate. This study focuses on the semi-annual oscillation (SAO) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) and finds evident SAO of temperature in this region. The study also reveals the formation mechanism of the SAO and its partial influence from sea surface temperatures.

Sudden Stratospheric Warmings

Mark P. Baldwin et al.

Summary: Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are impressive fluid dynamical events characterized by large and rapid temperature increases in the winter polar stratosphere, which are usually caused by the breaking of planetary-scale waves propagating upwards from the troposphere. SSWs result in the breakdown of the polar vortex, along with rapid descent and warming of air in polar latitudes, affecting tropospheric weather and potentially leading to cold air outbreaks over North America and Eurasia.

The Impact of the Stratospheric Polar Vortex Shift on the Arctic Oscillation

Yongjia Lu et al.

Summary: The study found that the shift of the stratospheric polar vortex towards the Eurasian continent favors the occurrence of the negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation, leading to longer and more intense AO events. Additionally, the polar vortex shift results in changes in the intensity of the three action centers in the AO spatial pattern, with an overall westward shift observed during the AO-shift events.

The sudden stratospheric warming in January 2021

Qian Lu et al.

Summary: Utilizing ERA5 reanalysis, sea surface temperature and sea ice observations, and real-time multivariate Madden-Julian index, this study investigates a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event in January 2021, focusing on its onset, favorable conditions, and near surface impacts. The study finds that a combination of factors such as wavenumbers 1 and 2 contributing to total eddy heat flux, a blocking over the Urals, and Arctic sea ice loss play crucial roles in disrupting the stratospheric polar vortex and leading to extreme weather events in various regions. Additionally, the study highlights how the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) in the tropics, while dormant during certain periods, can also contribute to the development of cold air outbreaks at the surface.

Linking Arctic variability and change with extreme winter weather in the United States

Judah Cohen et al.

Summary: The Arctic is warming at a rate twice the global average, leading to increased severe winter weather in many mid-latitude regions. Research shows a physical link between a lesser-known stratospheric polar vortex disruption and extreme cold in parts of Asia and North America. Numerical modeling experiments support a connection between Arctic change and the stretching of the stratospheric polar vortex and its surface impacts.
