Journal ArticleDOI

An objective determination of the polar vortex using Ertel's potential vorticity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the vortex boundary region to be at the local maximum convex and concave curvature in the Ertel's potential vorticity distribution surrounding the edge, and determined the onset and breakup dates of the vortex on the 450 K isentropic surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of temperature, trace species, and ozone in chemistry-climate model simulations of the recent past

TL;DR: In this article, simulations of the stratosphere from thirteen coupled chemistry-climate models (CCMs) are evaluated to provide guidance for the interpretation of ozone predictions made by the same CCMs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nimbus 7 satellite measurements of the springtime Antarctic ozone decrease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report measurements from the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet (SBUV) instrument and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) aboard the Nimbus 7 satellite, a Sun-synchronous polar-orbiting satellite which passes any given point near local noon.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of the polar vortex

TL;DR: In this article, a comparative analysis of the 1987 Southern Hemisphere and 1989 Northern Hemisphere lower stratospheric, polar vortex circulation and constituent distributions as observed by the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Experiment, August 17-September 22, 1987, and Airborne Arctic Stratospheric Expedition, January 3-February 19, 1989 aircraft campaigns is presented.
