abstract = {In a case study of a remarkable Major stratospheric sudden
Warming (MW) during the boreal winter 2008/09, we
investigate how transport and mixing triggered by this event
affect the composition of the whole stratosphere in the
Northern Hemisphere. We simulate this event with the
Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS), with
optimized mixing parameters and with no mixing, i.e. with
transport occurring only along the Lagrangian trajectories.
The results are investigated by using the tracer–tracer
correlation technique and by applying the Transformed
Eulerian Mean formalism. The CLaMS simulation of N2O and O3
with optimized mixing parameters shows good agreement with
the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) data. The spatial
distribution of mixing intensity in CLaMS correlates fairly
well with the Eliassen–Palm flux convergence and
illustrates how planetary waves drive mixing. By comparing
the simulations with and without mixing, we find that after
the MW poleward transport of air increases not only across
the vortex edge but also across the subtropical transport
barrier. Moreover, the MW event also accelerates polar
descent and tropical ascent of the Brewer–Dobson
circulation. The accelerated ascent in the tropics and
descent at high latitudes firstly occurs in the upper
stratosphere and then propagates downward to the lower
stratosphere. This downward propagation takes over one month
from the potential temperature level of 1000 to 400 K.},
