Abstract:

Abstract Tropopause polar vortices are coherent circulation features based on the tropopause in polar regions. They are a common feature of the Arctic, with typical radii less than 1500 km and lifetimes that may exceed 1 month. The Arctic is a particularly favorable region for these features due to isolation from the horizontal wind shear associated with the midlatitude jet stream, which may destroy the vortical circulation. Intensification of cyclonic tropopause polar vortices is examined here using an Ertel potential vorticity framework to test the hypothesis that there is an average tendenc

Abstract:

Abstract Polar vortices are a common feature in the solar system, but their structure varies between planets. Although polar vortices are characterized by a coherent region of high potential vorticity (PV) in the polar regions, the meridional variation of PV ranges from strong monopolar to annular distributions. The reduced stability of an annular vortex compared to a monopolar vortex may lead to increased horizontal transport between the midlatitudes and the poles, but this has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here we perform such an investigation by quantifying the horizontal mixing in pol

Abstract The term polar vortex has become part of the everyday vocabulary, but there is some confusion in the media, general public, and science community regarding what polar vortices are and how they are related to various weather events. Here, we clarify what is meant by polar vortices in the atmospheric science literature. It is important to recognize the existence of two separate planetary-scale circumpolar vortices: one in the stratosphere and the other in the troposphere. These vortices have different structures, seasonality, dynamics, and impacts on extreme weather. The tropospheric vo

Abstract Polar vortices are a prominent feature in Titan's stratosphere.

The simulation reveals a winter weakening of the vortices, with a clear minimum in polar potential vorticity and midlatitude zonal winds between winter solstice and s

Abstract:

An optical vortex undergoing a logarithmic – polar transformation is unwrapped from a ring – like shape to a straight line segment whose tilt is determined by the order of the vortex. Due to this property, components with continuous optical surface performing logarithmic – polar transformation are employed for the optical vortices sorting as a function of their orders. In this work we show that a logarithmic – polar component with its optical surface approximated by four discrete levels performs with a good approximation the same transformation of the optical vortices.

Abstract Giant planet tropospheres lack a solid, frictional bottom boundary. The troposphere instead smoothly transitions to a denser fluid interior below. However, Saturn exhibits a hot, symmetric cyclone centered directly on each pole, bearing many similarities to terrestrial hurricanes. Transient cyclonic features are observed at Neptune’s South Pole as well. The wind-induced surface heat exchange mechanism for tropical cyclones on Earth requires energy flux from a surface, so another mechanism must be responsible for the polar accumulation of cyclonic vorticity on giant planets.

Abstract. Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are closed circulations centered on the tropopause that form and predominately reside in high latitudes. Due to their attendant flow, TPVs have been shown to influence surface weather features, and thus, a greater understanding of the dynamics of these features may improve our ability to forecast impactful weather events. In this study, we focus on the subset of TPVs that have lifetimes of longer than 2 weeks (the 95th percentile of all TPV cases between 1979 and 2018); these long-lived vortices offer a unique opportunity to study the conditions under

The duration of polar ozone depletion events depends on the phase of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO).

As a result, the polar vortex intensifies during the western phase of the QBO and weakens during the eastern phase, which manifests itself in the timing, duration, and intensity of stratospheric ozone depletion. Polar ozone depletion occurs inside the strong polar vortex from late winter to spring due to the occurrence of heterogeneous and photoch

Abstract:

We investigate the scattering of a plane acoustic wave by an axisymmetric vortex in two dimensions. We consider vortices with localized vorticity, arbitrary circulation and small Mach number. The wavelength of the acoustic waves is assumed to be much longer than the scale of the vortex. This enables us to define two asymptotic regions: an inner, vortical region, and an outer, wave region. The solution is then developed in the two regions using matched asymptotic expansions, with the Mach number as the expansion parameter. The leading-order scattered wave field consists of two components. One c

Abstract:

Abstract Long-lived coherent vortices located near the tropopause are often found over polar regions. Although these vortices are a commonly observed feature of the Arctic, and can have lifetimes longer than one month, little is known about the mechanisms that control their evolution. This paper examines mechanisms of intensity change for a cyclonic tropopause polar vortex (TPV) using an Ertel potential vorticity (EPV) diagnostic framework. Results from a climatology of intensifying cyclonic TPVs suggest that the essential dynamics are local to the vortex, rather than a consequence of larger-s

Abstract:

Abstract Layers of ice and dust at the poles of Mars reflect variations in orbital parameters and atmospheric processes throughout the planet's history and may provide a key to understanding Mars's climate record. Previous research has investigated transport changes into the polar regions and found a nonlinear response to obliquity that suggests that Mars may currently be experiencing a maximum in transport across the winter poles. The thickness and composition of layers within the polar layered deposits (PLDs) are likely influenced by changes in horizontal atmospheric mixing at the poles, whi

Abstract:

Rapid springtime depletion of column ozone (O3) is observed over the Antarctic during the austral spring. A much weaker springtime depletion is observed in the Arctic region. This depletion results from a complex chemical mechanism that involves the catalytic destruction of stratospheric ozone by chlorine. The chemical mechanism appears to operate between ~12–25 km in the colder regions of the polar winter vortices. During the polar night heterogeneous chemical reactions occur on the surface of polar stratospheric clouds that convert relatively inert reservoir Cl species such as HCl to active
