Cyclone-Like Features Within the Stratospheric Polar-Night Vortex ...

Distinctive synoptic-scale (∼1,500 km) flow features are identified within the core of the stratospheric polar-night vortex at stratopause altitudes (∼50 km). Typically they comprise a train or a complex pattern of transient vortices, each characterized by enhanced values of potential vorticity (PV)...
