During winter 2018–2019, the Arctic polar vortex was highly variable – with both a sudden stratospheric warming and a strong vortex event. We discuss this unusual evolution of the vortex in terms of climatology and its impacts on surface weather patterns. Citing Literature Volume75, Issue2February 2020Pages 52-57 RelatedInformation
