The summer circulation of the arctic stratosphere below 30 km
Abstract The summer circulation of the arctic stratosphere is examined in the light of climatological data and daily synoptic analysis. The Ferrel westerlies are shown to extend to about 20 km (50 mb) immediately above the jet axis. The middle stratospheric easterlies above them descend to 15 km at...
