abstract = {An important source of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs),
which play a crucial role in controlling polar stratospheric
ozone depletion, is the temperature fluctuations induced by
mountain waves. These enable stratospheric temperatures to
fall below the threshold value for PSC formation in regions
of negative temperature perturbations or cooling phases
induced by the waves even if the synoptic-scale temperatures
are too high. However, this formation mechanism is usually
missing in global chemistry–climate models because these
temperature fluctuations are neither resolved nor
parameterised. Here, we investigate in detail the episodic
and localised wintertime stratospheric cooling events
produced over the Antarctic Peninsula by a parameterisation
of mountain-wave-induced temperature fluctuations inserted
into a 30-year run of the global chemistry–climate
configuration of the UM-UKCA (Unified Model – United
Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol) model. Comparison of the
probability distribution of the parameterised cooling phases
with those derived from climatologies of satellite-derived
AIRS brightness temperature measurements and high-resolution
radiosonde temperature soundings from Rothera Research
Station on the Antarctic Peninsula shows that they broadly
agree with the AIRS observations and agree well with the
radiosonde observations, particularly in both cases for the
“cold tails” of the distributions. It is further shown
that adding the parameterised cooling phase to the resolved
and synoptic-scale temperatures in the UM-UKCA model results
in a considerable increase in the number of instances when
minimum temperatures fall below the formation temperature
for PSCs made from ice water during late austral autumn and
early austral winter and early austral spring, and without
the additional cooling phase the temperature rarely falls
below the ice frost point temperature above the Antarctic
Peninsula in the model. Similarly, it was found that the
formation potential for PSCs made from ice water was many
times larger if the additional cooling is included. For PSCs
made from nitric acid trihydrate (NAT) particles it was only
during October that the additional cooling is required for
temperatures to fall below the NAT formation temperature
threshold (despite more NAT PSCs occurring during other
months). The additional cooling phases also resulted in an
increase in the surface area density of NAT particles
throughout the winter and early spring, which is important
for chlorine activation. The parameterisation scheme was
finally shown to make substantial differences to the
distribution of total column ozone during October, resulting
from a shift in the position of the polar vortex.},
