Stratospheric Wave Breaking

Stratospheric Wave Breaking is a dynamical process in atmospheric fluid dynamics wherein planetary-scale waves in the stratosphere lose coherence and dissipate nonlinearly, leading to irreversible mixing of potential vorticity and abrupt disruptions in the polar vortex.
