Thesis Defense Tropopause Polar Vortex Linkages to Arctic and Midlatitude Phenomena  Tomer Burg Friday, May 30th, 2024 12:30 pm / NWC 5600 Abstract: Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are coherent, closed tropopause-based vortices that spend at least 60% of their lifetime poleward of 65° latitude. TPVs are most common in the Arctic, where they are often […]
