'The polar vortex is an area of cold, low-pressure air that swirls in the stratosphere above Earth's North and South poles. When it's strong, the polar vortex swirls in a regular pattern above the Arctic Circle, contained in part by a strong jet stream that keeps the cold air up north and the warm air down south. The Earth's climate is shifting at a faster rate due to human activities. Warmer temps pulls more moisture into the atmosphere causing more severe patterns and anomalies...'(This is not What Is Climate, Aviation Education, Weather Science, Teaching Geography, Jet Stream, Arctic Ice, Physical Geography, Polar Vortex, Geography Lessons
