An Observational Study of the Final Breakdown of the Southern Hemisphere Stratospheric Vortex in 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The 2002 Southern Hemisphere final warming occurred early, following an unusually active winter and the first recorded major warming in the Antarctic. The breakdown of the stratospheric polar vortex in October and November ...
Diagnostic Comparison of Meteorological Analyses during the 2002 Antarctic Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several meteorological datasets, including U.K. Met Office (MetO), European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), and NASA?s Goddard Earth Observation ...
Simulations of Dynamics and Transport during the September 2002 Antarctic Major Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mechanistic model simulation initialized on 14 September 2002, forced by 100-hPa geopotential heights from Met Office analyses, reproduced the dynamical features of the 2002 Antarctic major warming. The vortex split on ...
