The Polar vortex 'spinning backward' above the Arctic after a major reversal event triggers atmospheric upheaval, including an ozone spike, due to sudden stratospheric warming, impacting global weather patterns.
Polar vortex reversal event causes atmospheric upheaval, including ozone spike, due to sudden stratospheric warming, potentially impacting global weather patterns.
Following a significant reversal event earlier this month caused by an unexpected warming in the upper atmosphere, the polar vortex encircling the Arctic is now spinning oppositely. One of the most dramatic atmospheric U-turns in recent memory has occurred.
