The Stratospheric Polar Vortex is a seasonal high-altitude atmospheric structure that develops in October, consolidates in winter, and dissipates in spring. The term has frequently, albeit incorrectly, attracted media attention in recent years. Sudden alterations in tropospheric circulation are frequently caused by its developments and deviations from the vertical axis of polar latitudes.

A sudden spread of polar air towards mid-latitudes has been caused by variations, particularly in recent years. We shall learn that the polar vortex is a structure that also exists on other worlds.

It has historically been crucial in determining Earth’s climate history, especially over the last 2.5 million years, which have been marked by a series of recurrent glacial periods and shorter interglacial periods.
