abstract = {This chapter focuses on microphysical and chemical
processes in the winter polar lower stratosphere, such as
polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) formation; denitrification
and dehydration; heterogeneous chlorine activation and
deactivation; and chemical ozone loss. These are
“threshold” phenomena that depend critically on
meteorological conditions. A range of diagnostics is
examined to quantify differences between reanalyses and
their impact on polar processing studies, including minimum
lower stratospheric temperatures; area and volume of
stratospheric air cold enough to support PSC formation;
maximum latitudinal gradients in potential vorticity (a
measure of the strength of the winter polar vortex); area of
the vortex exposed to sunlight each day; vortex break-up
dates; and polar cap average diabatic heating rates. For
such diagnostics, the degree of agreement between reanalyses
is an important direct indicator of the systems’ inherent
uncertainties, and comparisons to independent measurements
are frequently not feasible. For other diagnostics, however,
comparisons with atmospheric observations are very valuable.
The representation of small-scale temperature and horizontal
wind fluctuations and the fidelity of Lagrangian trajectory
calculations are evaluated using observations obtained
during long-duration superpressure balloon flights launched
from Antarctica. Comparisons with satellite measurements of
various trace gases and PSCs are made to assess the
thermodynamic consistency between reanalysis temperatures
and theoretical PSC equilibrium curves. Finally, to explore
how the spatially and temporally varying differences between
reanalyses interact to affect the conclusions of typical
polar processing studies, simulated fields of nitric acid,
water vapour, several chlorine species, nitrous oxide, and
ozone from a chemistry-transport model driven by the
different reanalyses for specific Arctic and Antarctic
winters are compared to satellite measurements.},
