ABSTRACT To highlight the details of stratosphere–troposphere dynamical coupling during the onset of strong polar vortex variability, this study identifies stratospheric vortex weakening (SVW) events ...

Vortex is ubiquitous in nature including spiral arms of galaxy, planet rotation, hurricane (tornado). A vortex is a typical and well-known magnetic domain structure in dimensionally confined ...

When the polar vortex stumbles, the weather at ground level can pivot from mild to brutal in a matter of days. A circulation ...

Step inside the strange world of a superfluid, a liquid that can flow endlessly without friction, defying the common-sense ...

What happened to the polar vortex This video compares the position and strength of the polar vortex on December 8, 2015 and February 27, 2014. The past two years you heard polar vortex almost every ...

Within superconductors little tornadoes of electrons, known as quantum vortices, can occur which have important implications in superconducting applications such as quantum sensors. Now a new kind of ...

The drastic change in temperatures occurring now in the Great Lakes and eastern U.S. is the ground truth of a major upper-air pattern change. A piece of the polar vortex is going to move off the north ...

The polar vortex has started to break apart, with some chunks of frigid air drifting away from their normal home near the North Pole. But no big blizzards are suddenly going to blast the eastern ...

A distinguishing feature of cardiac blood flow is the presence of vortices, 1,2 which are ring-shaped regions of rotating flow motion. Vortices are well-known entities in fluid dynamics, characterized ...

CLEVELAND - The Polar Vortex remains extremely strong right now, but it might not be bringing the Great Lakes the kind of weather you think of when we talk about the vortex’s bitter temperatures. If ...
