Stratospheric Polar Vortex Characteristics and Northern Hemisphere Winter Weather
Abstract
Stratospheric polar vortex charateristics such as area, wind speed on the vortex edge, distortion of the vortex are investigated in terms of their relation to the surface weather in the Northern Hemisphere winter, especially on extreme and persistent cold spells.
