Stratospheric circulation response to large Northern Hemisphere high-latitude volcanic eruptions in a global climate model by H. Guðlaugsdóttir, H. Guðlaugsdóttir, Y. Peings, D. Zanchettin, G. Magnusdottir

“…We identify two competing mechanisms contributing to the post-eruption evolution of the polar vortex: (1) a local stratospheric top-down mechanism whereby increased absorption of aerosol-induced thermal radiation yields a polar vortex strengthening via thermal wind response and (2) a bottom-up mechanism whereby anomalous surface cooling yields a wave-activity flux increase that propagates into the winter stratosphere. …”
