When the winds slow and become unstable, just like a top, the vortex wobbles. A constant, stable spin of those winds keeps the arctic air locked in place. The polar vortex is a band of strong winds circling the North Pole. That slowed the polar vortex winds.Ībout every other year, weather events in the lower atmosphere send strong atmospheric waves into the stratosphere, which interact with the polar vortex. Air in the stratosphere, a layer in Earth's atmosphere about 19 miles above the surface, warmed by 55 degrees in a six-day period, wrote Amy Butler of NOAA's Chemical Sciences Laboratory. A polar vortex has descended on much of North America, coming down from the Arctic, bringing record freezing temperatures across much of the country.Ī few weeks ago, the Arctic underwent minor, sudden stratospheric warming.
