abstract = {Stratospheric temperature perturbations (TP) that have
previously been misinterpreted as due to gravity waves are
revisited. The perturbations observed by radio occultations
during December 2015 had peak‐to‐peak amplitudes of 10 K
extending from the equator to midlatitudes. The vertically
stacked and horizontally flat structures had a vertical
wavelength of 12 km. The signs of the TP were 180∘ phase
shifted between equatorial and midlatitudes at fixed
altitude levels. High‐resolution operational analyses
reveal that these shallow temperature structures were caused
by inertial instability due to the large meridional shear of
the polar night jet at its equatorward flank in combination
with Rossby wave breaking. Large stratospheric TP owing to
inertial instability do frequently occur in the Northern
Hemisphere (Southern Hemisphere) from October to April
(April to October) in the 39 years of ECMWF
Re‐Analysis‐Interim data. During $10\%$ of the days, TP
exceed 5 K (peak to peak).},
