AbstractCLAES results on temperature and the long-lived trace species CH4, N2O, and CF2CI2 are applied to the study of the formation of the Antarctic vortex and the expected downward motions in the vortex during the transition from Austral summer to winter. The observed variations, showing downward motion of mixing ratio contours, are consistent with expectations. An unexpected result is the indication of larger downward motions in winter near 70 S than over the pole.
