As the abundance of greenhouse gases gradually increases,
planetary waves no longer
break up the Arctic vortex as often.
A˜m ≤ A˜m, max = A˜m, b, where A˜m, b is the amplitude reached by the
planetary Rossby
waves in the
wave breaking process within the midlatitude belt Δ.
Ozone changes could affect stratospheric winds so that
breaking of vertically propagating
planetary - scale Rossby
waves from the troposphere would be affected, this
breaking could drive the downward propagation of NAM - like patterns which would ultimately be seen in the SAT.
«There are several reasons why there should be opposite trends: 1) depletion of ozone, e.g. by CFCs 2) increased CO2 3) changing of upwards traveling
