Quantification of transport across the boundary of the lower stratospheric vortex during Arctic winter 2002/2003
Strong perturbations of the Arctic stratosphere during the winter 2002/2003 by planetary waves led to enhanced stretching and folding of the vortex. On two occasions the vortex in the lower stratosphere split into two secondary vortices that re-merged after some days. As a result of these strong dis...
