The effect of mesoscale mountain wave-induced temperature anomalies on the formation potential of polar stratospheric clouds above northern Scandinavia is analyzed with a one-month mesoscale model integration. The simulation results are contrasted with synoptic-scale analyses and compared with remote sensing and in situ observations. The mesoscale mass flux of air parcels with temperatures below the threshold for cloud formation through a control volume is compared with its synoptic-scale counterpart. A classification of the synoptic-scale flow into periods of large and small mountain wave activity in the stratosphere is proposed. The derived classification will be used for a climatology of stratospheric mountain wave activity above Scandinavia.
