Modulation of Atmospheric Rivers by the Arctic Stratospheric Polar Vortex

investigation of the climatological effects of the stratospheric polar vortex in southwest asia

the relationship between the stratospheric conditions and evolution, and the surface weather, not only has revolutionized our understanding of the functions of different atmospheric layers and their dynamics, but has also brought about potential implications for weather and climate predictions in almost any region of the planet. obtaining a better understanding of the field, particularly in sou...

Lidar Measurements of Polar Stratospheric Clouds in the Arctic

Interactive comment on “Chemical analysis of refractory stratospheric aerosol particles collected within the arctic vortex and inside polar stratospheric clouds” by Martin Ebert et al

To point 2: The deduction of number distributions/mass mixing ratios from single particle data is linked with rather large uncertainties. Nevertheless, we have added the results of our calculation and the discussion of these values (see end of comment). The mass mixing ratio will be around 0.1 ppbm for all nonvolatile particles and the dN/dlogDP for a particle diameter of 0.75 μm is around 10ˆ-...

This is a very interesting paper that presents nice results on the detection of solid particles in the stratosphere. We have two short comments: 1) Page 15 line 19 (part 4.1;7 Soot): the author proposed possible sources for soot particles in the stratosphere. The (transient) presence of soot in the middle stratosphere and their possible origins, including meteoritic material, were also obtained...
