5 Baldwin and Dunkerton (JGR 1999) suggested that the redistribution of mass in the stratosphere, in response to changes in wave driving, may be sufficient to influence the surface pressure significantly, consistent with the theoretical results of Haynes and Shepherd (1989). 4
6 Baldwin and Dunkerton (JGR 1999) suggested that the redistribution of mass in the stratosphere, in response to changes in wave driving, may be sufficient to influence the surface pressure significantly, consistent with the theoretical results of Haynes and Shepherd (1989). Ambaum and Hoskins (JClim 2002) used PV thinking to explain how stratospheric PV anomalies affect surface pressure. 4

21 Conclusions The stratospheric wave-driven pump creates polar PV anomalies. Equivalently, it moves mass into and out of the polar cap. 13
22 Conclusions The stratospheric wave-driven pump creates polar PV anomalies. Equivalently, it moves mass into and out of the polar cap. Both PV theory (and movement of mass) provides an explanation for the observed NAM signal down to the tropopause. 13
23 Conclusions The stratospheric wave-driven pump creates polar PV anomalies. Equivalently, it moves mass into and out of the polar cap. Both PV theory (and movement of mass) provides an explanation for the observed NAM signal down to the tropopause. The magnitude of the surface NAM signal cannot be explained by PV theory. Tropospheric processes presumably involving baroclinic eddies amplify the signal. 13
24 Conclusions The stratospheric wave-driven pump creates polar PV anomalies. Equivalently, it moves mass into and out of the polar cap. Both PV theory (and movement of mass) provides an explanation for the observed NAM signal down to the tropopause. The magnitude of the surface NAM signal cannot be explained by PV theory. Tropospheric processes presumably involving baroclinic eddies amplify the signal. A simple polar cap pressure diagnostic can be used to evaluate the fidelity of S T coupling in models. 13
