  Are stratospheric polar vortex disruptions what they seem? An alternative metric excludes tropospheric influences - Climate Dynamics

  Disruptions in the stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) are often associated with extreme winter weather. Assessing the state of the vortex is typically achieved using a combination of zonal winds at 10 hPa averaged around the 60° N latitude circle, geopotential height anomalies (GPHAs) at various pressure levels, and/or stratospheric temperatures. Stratospheric height anomalies at a particular level are caused by temperature variations in the entire atmospheric column below it, meaning observed SPV patterns may, in fact, be dominated by tropospheric rather than stratospheric variability. Here we propose and demonstrate an additional metric that largely excludes tropospheric influences to help assess SPV behavior. We analyze anomalies in fields of 50–10 hPa layer thickness rather than geopotential heights and employ objective pattern clustering to identify representative anomaly configurations and disruptions, assess changes in pattern frequency, identify “stretched vortex” configurations, and relate patterns to other atmospheric variables. We find an increasing frequency of anomalously low-thickness (cold) SPV patterns, which is consistent with increasing greenhouse gas concentrations but inconsistent with results based on GPHAs. According to our metric, stretched SPV configurations exist on 39% of the days between 1979 and 2022. Unlike height-based SPV patterns, thickness-based patterns bear little resemblance to corresponding 500 hPa height fields, suggesting the thickness-based metric successfully isolates the stratospheric layer. Some thickness anomaly patterns correspond with weaker poleward gradients in potential vorticity that are linked with Arctic amplification, suggesting a higher likelihood of atmospheric blocking and resulting extreme weather as disproportionate Arctic warming continues.
