And yeah, what this article doesn't mention is that changes in polar atmospheric circulation is due to #ClimateChange (link to study in comments)...

"A stratospheric warming event is about to unfold over the Southern Hemisphere, which is currently in its Winter season. The latest forecasts show strong temperature and pressure waves in the Stratosphere above the South Pole. These events are rare in the Southern Hemisphere but are usually very powerful and are known to have a global impact, potentially even on the upcoming northern Winter season.

"The Southern Hemisphere does not experience these winter stratospheric warming events so often, with only a few known events in the past decades."

Polar #ClimateChange as Manifest in #AtmosphericCirculation

"Dynamic manifestations of climate change, i.e. those related to circulation, are less well understood than are thermodynamic, or temperature-related aspects. However, this knowledge gap is narrowing. We review recent progress in understanding the causes of observed changes in polar tropospheric and stratospheric circulation, and in interpreting climate model projections of their future changes."
