    Beschreibung / Inhaltsverzeichnis: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 190. The Stratosphere: Dynamics, Transport, and Chemistry is the first volume in 20 years that offers a comprehensive review of the Earth's stratosphere, increasingly recognized as an important component of the climate system. The volume addresses key advances in our understanding of the stratospheric circulation and transport and summarizes the last two decades of research to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the state of the field. This monograph reviews many important aspects of the dynamics, transport, and chemistry of the stratosphere by some of the world's leading experts, including up-to-date discussions of Dynamics of stratospheric polar vortices Chemistry and dynamics of the ozone hole Role of solar variability in the stratosphere Effect of gravity waves in the stratosphere Importance of atmospheric annular modes This volume will be of interest to graduate students and scientists who wish to learn more about the stratosphere. It will also be useful to atmospheric science departments as a textbook for classes on the stratosphere.

    On the lack of stratospheric dynamical variability in low-top versions of the CMIP5 models (2012)
    AGU (American Geophysical Union)
    In:  Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 118 (6). pp. 2494-2505.

    Beschreibung: We describe the main differences in simulations of stratospheric climate and variability by models within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) that have a model top above the stratopause and relatively fine stratospheric vertical resolution (high-top), and those that have a model top below the stratopause (low-top). Although the simulation of mean stratospheric climate by the two model ensembles is similar, the low-top model ensemble has very weak stratospheric variability on daily and interannual time scales. The frequency of major sudden stratospheric warming events is strongly underestimated by the low-top models with less than half the frequency of events observed in the reanalysis data and high-top models. The lack of stratospheric variability in the low-top models affects their stratosphere-troposphere coupling, resulting in short-lived anomalies in the Northern Annular Mode, which do not produce long-lasting tropospheric impacts, as seen in observations. The lack of stratospheric variability, however, does not appear to have any impact on the ability of the low-top models to reproduce past stratospheric temperature trends. We find little improvement in the simulation of decadal variability for the high-top models compared to the low-top, which is likely related to the fact that neither ensemble produces a realistic dynamical response to volcanic eruptions

    Geostrophic vortex dynamics (2011)

    Details

    Beschreibung: Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution August 1988
    Beschreibung: By generalizing the method of contour dynamics to the quasigeostrophic two layer model, we have proposed and solved a number of fundamental problems in the dynamics of rotating and stratified vorticity fields. A variety of rotating and translating potential vorticity equilibria (V-states) in one and two layers have been obtained, shedding new light on potential vorticity dynamics in the geostrophic context. In particular,the equivalent barotropic model is shown to be a singular limit of the two-layer model for scales large compared to the radius of deformation. The question of coalescence of two vortices in the same layer (merger) and· in different layers (alignment) is studied in detail. Critical initial separation distances for coalescence are numerically established as functions of the radius of deformation and the relative thickness of the layers at rest. The connection between coalescence and the existence of stable rotating doubly-connected V-states is shown to be an illuminating generalization of the Euler results. The question of filamentation of two-dimensional vorticity interfaces is addressed from a new geometrical perspective. The analysis of the topology of the streamfunction in a frame of reference rotating with the instantaneous angular velocity of the vorticity distribution (the corotating frame) is shown to yield new powerful insights on the nonlinear evolution of the vorticity field. In particular, the presence of hyperbolic (critical) points of the corotating streamfunction that come in contact with the vorticity interface is found to be directly responsible for the generation of filaments. The importance ofthe position of the critical points of the comoving streamfunction is found to generalize to the two-layer quasigeostrophic context. They are shown to play the crucial role in determining the limits, in parameter space, on the existence of a number of two-layer rotating and translating potential vorticity equilibria.
