Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the 2002 polar vortex rupture and its impact on the evolution of ozone holes over Antarctica. Participants are seeking information about the origins of the strong winds that altered the wind circulation during that season.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses interest in the 2002 Antarctic ozone hole and the unusual wind patterns associated with the polar vortex rupture.
  • Another participant provides a link to a paper discussing NOy measurements during the polar vortex split in 2002, suggesting it may contain relevant information.
  • A participant questions where the original poster has searched for information, mentioning NOAA, NIWA, and CSIRO as potential sources.
  • Several links to papers are shared, including those discussing POAM III observations and unusual stratospheric transport during the 2002 Antarctic winter, indicating a variety of research available on the topic.
  • The original poster mentions a restriction on using sources beyond a specific text provided by their professor, which limits their ability to explore additional literature.
  • Despite the resources shared, the original poster notes a lack of information specifically about the origin of the winds involved in the 2002 event.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the origins of the winds or the best sources of information, indicating that multiple views and uncertainties remain in the discussion.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights limitations in available literature regarding the specific origins of the winds during the 2002 polar vortex rupture, as well as the constraints faced by the original poster in sourcing information.

Hello everybody.

I am currently doing some research about the evolution of ozone holes over antartica.

I am interested in 2002's season, since strong winds from the stratosphere managed to alter the wind's clockwise circulation about the continent making it one of the weirdest recorded.

So far I have found nothing about the origin of these winds.

Can someone please tell me where can I find some information about them?

Thank you very much for reading.

This is the only paper I have on this computer. It is open-access

There are probably more

Thank you very much. I think I will be able to write more thanks to this.

On the internet; I am not suposed to use more than the text given by mi professor, it's title is twenty questions and anwsers about the ozone layer: 2010 update. The authors are David Fahey and Michaela Hegglin.

I want to add more information to my report; the best I have found so far is this:

But it hasn't any information abou the origin of the winds.
