Modeling carried
supercomputer showed that the stratospheric vortex affect the depth of the
oceans and therefore play a role in shaping the Earth's climate, according to
"Kompyulenta" referring to the publication in the journal Nature Geosciences.
Events in the
stratosphere at an altitude of 10-50 km are reflected in what is happening in
the troposphere below it. It is also known that the behavior of the troposphere
affects the circulation of the oceans, which in turn determines the climate.
One of the earlier studies hinted that the events in the stratosphere can
directly affect the oceans, but the conclusion was based on only one climate
model, which also covered a relatively short period of 260 years.
