| 内容記述 | The mixing and transport of stratospheric chemical species occurs by a variety of physical mechanisms on a range of length and time scales. Slow vertical diffusion resembles Taylor diffusion in pipe flow, while rapid stirring by chaotic advection is essentially a "baker's transformation", via the stretching and folding of material lines in the flow. Other examples include global scale transport by large organized flow structures, such as the winter stratospheric "eggbeater" that brings tropical air to the north pole. This presentation is a survey of these different mixing and transport phenomena and how we see their signatures in observations of chemical tracers. |
