Alpha5 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just wondering how one analyzes a potential SSW on a model. What layer of the atmosphere do you look at? What temperatures are conducive of a SSW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha5 Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 also if anyone could point out a site where I could find stratsopheric analysis, that would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am19psu Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Just wondering how one analyzes a potential SSW on a model. What layer of the atmosphere do you look at? What temperatures are conducive of a SSW? You're looking for rapidly warming temperature anomalies in the 60-90N band downwelling from about 5-10mb to 50-100mb. It's hard to answer the 2nd part of your question since temperatures vary with height in the stratosphere. You're better off looking at temperature anomalies. also if anyone could point out a site where I could find stratsopheric analysis, that would be great Euro: http://wekuw.met.fu-berlin.de/~Aktuell/strat-www/wdiag/diag.php?alert=1&lng=eng GFS: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/strat_a_f/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
