Stratospheric ozone depletion through catalytic chemistry involving man‐made
chlorofluorocarbons is an area of focus in the study of geophysics and one of the global …

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in
physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first …

Relationships between long‐lived stratospheric tracers, manifested in similar spatial
structures on scales ranging from a few to several thousand kilometers, are displayed most …

We have developed objective criteria for choosing the location of the northern hemisphere
polar vortex boundary region and the onset and breakup dates of the vortex. By determining …

Evidence is presented pointing to the existence of rich and coherent subsynoptic and
mesoscale flow features at tropopause levels. These features are related to, and evolve …

The intense cyclonic vortices that form over the winter pole are one of the most prominent
features of the stratospheric circulation. The structure and dynamics of these “polar vortices” …

The transport and mixing properties of the isentropic flow in the lower and middle
stratosphere are analyzed by using observed winds to advect a tracer on isentropic surfaces …

An overview is provided of the current understanding of transport in the middle atmosphere.
Over the past quarter century this subject has evolved from a basic recognition of the Brewer …
