Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are impressive fluid dynamical events in which
large and rapid temperature increases in the winter polar stratosphere (∼ 10–50 km) are …

Abstract Purpose of Review Atmospheric blocking events represent some of the most high-
impact weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, yet they have often been a cause for concern in …

A powerful influence on the weather that we experience on the ground can be exerted by the
stratosphere. This highly stratified layer of Earth's atmosphere is found 10 to 50 kilometres …

The cryosphere is an important component of the global climate system. Cryospheric
components are sensitive to climate warming, and changes in the cryosphere can lead to …

Extreme weather events have devastating impacts on human health, economic activities,
ecosystems, and infrastructure. It is therefore crucial to anticipate extremes and their impacts …

The stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere at heights between 10-50 km, is an important
source of variability for the weather and climate at the Earth's surface on timescales of weeks …

The term polar vortex has become part of the everyday vocabulary, but there is some
confusion in the media, general public, and science community regarding what polar …

Severe cold air outbreaks have significant impacts on human health, energy use,
