Abstract
The influence of the stratospheric polar vortex on the tropospheric vortex begins to appear in November, is significantly enhanced from December to February and decreases in March. The strong stratospheric polar vortex centered over the North Pole enhances the tropospheric one, which largely repeats the shape and location of the stratospheric vortex during this period. The strong stratospheric polar vortex displaced relative to the pole can lead to the splitting of the tropospheric vortex. And finally, the splitting of the stratospheric vortex in winter leads to a significant weakening of the tropospheric one.
