Effect of latitudinally displaced gravity wave forcing in the lower stratosphere on the polar vortex stability

<p>In order to investigate the impact of a locally confined gravity wave (GW) hotspot, a sensitivity study based on simulations of the middle atmosphere circulation during northern winter was performed with a nonlinear, mechanistic, general circulation model. To this end, we selected a fixed l...
