The zonal asymmetry in the Antarctic total ozone column (TOC) has been widely studied in … recent decades. However, little is known about how spatially dependent the TOC response is to sudden … stratospheric warmings (SSWs).
Stratosphere–troposphere exchange can be considered globally within the framework of the atmosphere's general circulation as the transfer of air masses through the tropopause with ascending (descending) flows in the tropics (extratropical latitudes).
We use Multi-Sensor Reanalysis and ground-based total ozone content (TOC) data to study total ozone variations in Antarctica near the dates of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW). Three events were analyzed, including the warmings in 1988, 2002 (major warming), and 2019.
The zonal wavenumber spectrum of planetary waves in the atmosphere above Antarctica was studied in two contrasting years: in 2019 when there was a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW), and in 2020 when the Antarctic stratospheric vortex was unusually strong and long-lived.
We have considered TOMS (2000–2004) and OMI (2005–2021) total ozone column (TOC) data sets for the second part of winter cold period (January–March). Variations in both total ozone and characteristics of the Fourier wave harmonics with zonal numbers 1–5 are analyzed.
