Título: | Lagrangian study of the final warming in the southern stratosphere during 2002: Part II. 3D structure |
Autor: | Curbelo, Jezabel; Mechoso, Carlos R.; Mancho, Ana María ; Wiggings, Stephen | Fecha de publicación: | 17-jun-2019 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Climate Dynamics 53: 1277- 1286 (2019) | Resumen: | This two-part paper aims to provide a Lagrangian perspective of the final southern warming in spring of 2002, during which the stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) experienced a unique splitting. We approach the subject from a dynamical systems viewpoint and search for Lagrangian coherent structures using a Lagrangian descriptor that is applied to reanalysis data. Part I presents our methodology and focuses by means of a kinematic model, on the understanding of fundamental processes for filamentation and ultimately for vortex splitting on an isentropic surface in the middle stratosphere. The present Part II discusses the three dimensional evolution of the flow during the selected event. For this, we apply the definition of vortex boundary developed in Part I for guidance in the selection of trajectories to illuminate the evolving flow structures, and invoke a criterion that allows to justify why at an isentropic level a pinched vortex will split in later times. Lagrangian structures identified include surfaces that are several kilometers deep, and which a particle trajectory analysis confirms as barriers to the flow. The role of Lagrangian structures in determining the fate of particles during the SPV splitting is discussed. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00382-019-04833-x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/199496 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00382-019-04833-x | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1007/s00382-019-04833-x issn: 1432-0894 |
