This has made it possible to determine, for the first time, the frequency of such polar lows in the past. Subsequent statistical analysis of data generated for the last 60 years revealed no direct ...

moving in a west to east direction – a polar low-pressure system. These winds tend to keep the bitter cold air locked in the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. On occasion, the vortex ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical method that enables a reconstruction of the occurrence of small-scale polar storms -- so-called polar lows -- in the North Atlantic. Scientists from the ...

Summer and fall are hurricane season, but for the storms known as polar lows, prime time falls in the dead of winter, when frigid air blows off sea ice to collide with warmer, moister air in the ...

A polar vortex is a large area of low-pressure and cold air that circulates around the Earth’s poles, typically confined to the Arctic or Antarctic regions. This swirling mass of frigid air is ...

It was colder in Chicago than the South Pole, Barrow, Alaska, and Greenland during that polar vortex plunge ... ever happened on Jan. 20, 1985. The low was 27 degrees below zero that day ...

The vortex is essentially an area of low pressure in the upper layers of the atmosphere over the polar region. This vortex consists of powerful westerly winds in the stratosphere, about 10 to 30 ...
