It clearly involves surface
pressure at the poles — it says so — and is concerned with NH blocking patterns involving the polar annular mode in a low solar UV environment.
The gyres spin up with negative polar annular modes — high
pressure at the poles push circumpolar wind and storms into lower latitudes.
UV interacts with stratospheric ozone modulating atmospheric pathways and varying surface
pressure at the poles.
The negative state involves relatively high
pressure at the pole pushing winds, cold air and storms into lower latitudes.
In the south low
pressure at the poles increases the strength of the circumpolar current through Drakes Passage and constrain storms to the polar region — with significant implications for Southern Hemisphere hydrology.
When solar activity is high — the sea level
pressure at the poles is low and storms are constrained to a tight circle at high latitudes.
Higher surface
pressure at the pole pushes winds and polar storms into lower latitudes.
Ultimately the AO and the AAO closely reflect atmospheric
pressure at the poles.
The Law Dome location suggests the involvement of the Southern Annular Mode — the belt of westerlies circling the Antarctic that are pushed more or less into lower latitudes by surface
pressure at the pole.
Surface
pressure at the poles is influenced by solar activity — including in the ultravoilet band with UV / ozone chemistry in the stratosphere.
«clearly driven by a top down solar mechanism involving UV / ozone interactions causing changing sea level
pressure at the poles.»
It is suspected that solar UV / ozone chemistry modulate atmospheric paths and result in varying surface
pressure at the poles.
They are called the Southern and Northern Annular Modes — and no one has moved away from surface
pressure at the poles influencing storm tracks and ocean currents in both Hemispheres.
The climate seems clearly driven by a top down solar mechanism involving UV / ozone interactions causing changing sea level
pressure at the poles.
Not exact matches
It was no surprise to hear Arsene Wenger talking this week about the
pressure of being
at the top of the Premier League, as his Arsenal side have suffered with it plenty of times, including over the last few weeks when the Gunners hit a slump after finding ourselves two points clear and in
pole position to win the Premier League.
The clock's mechanical parts left its accuracy
at the mercy of shifting temperatures,
pressures and even Earth's gravitational pull, since pendulums swing faster
at lower altitudes and
at Earth's
poles.
These and other studies also have found that being
at the bottom of the totem
pole leads to greater stress as a result of increased work loads and time
pressures, as well as more job insecurity.

Solar's 2017 solo exhibition «Ground Control»
at Barcelona's Galería Joan Prats featured works from her «Crushed by
pressure» (2017) series: potter's - wheel - thrown ceramic forms that are held in tension with elastic cords, or clasped by metal
poles as if aberrant prostheses were gripped by outsized chopsticks.
Yes we can compare the two locations, allowing for the thinner air
at the
pole the
pressures are comparable, in any case [CO2] is given as mixing ratio in ppm not as a partial
pressure.
This in turn also leads to lateral growth of the Walker Cell — and therefore
pole - ward migration (on both hemispheres) of the subtropical subsidence zone, where air under downward force is compressed
at the Earth surface and semi-perminent high
pressure systems lead to strucutural drought and desertification.
The whole is a complex and dynamic system triggered by changes in atmospheric
pressure zones
at both the north and south
poles.
So the westerlies fail in the southern hemisphere as atmospheric
pressure rises
at the south
pole and also
at 60 - 70 ° south.
It is well established that solar UV and ozone interact
at the
poles — changing sea level
pressures.
At the equator: direct solar energy; warm temps; low
pressure air rises and moves towards the
poles.
At the
poles: indirect solar energy; cold temps; high
pressure air sinks and moves towards the equator.
In a positive SAM event sea level
pressure over the
pole is relatively low and
pressure at sub-polar regions relatively high.
Every 11 years, the polarity of «
pressure» / gravity
at the North and South
poles reverses in response.
Even if the temperature e.g.
at the
poles, the sink places, dropped 1 °C more than average, that doesn't make much difference: the current CO2 level
at about 400 ppmv gives about the same partial
pressure of 400 microatm everywhere over the oceans (minus a few % due to water vapour).
Polar vortices occur when an area of low
pressure sits
at the rotation
pole of a planet.
In the positive phase the
pressure is low
at the
pole and high
at middle latitudes.
In the negative phase the
pressure is not as low
at the
pole and not as high
at middle latitudes.
When the
pressure is low
at the
pole, then there is a stronger vortex of air circulating around the
pole.
Because of the
pressure gradient
at altitude between the tropics and the
poles, there is a force (
at altitude) pushing air from the tropics to the
poles.
