On the specificity of the tropospheric configurations related to stratospheric vortex decelerations
The wintertime stratospheric circulation over the Northern Hemisphere is characterized by a persistent westerly polar vortex. This circulation can undergo substantial decelerations of varying intensity, accompanied by a pronounced warming of the polar stratosphere. In the most extreme cases, such decelerations may le...
