Persistente circulación estratosférica, con vientos del oeste, presente durante el invierno en el hemisferio Norte; alcanza su mayor intensidad entre los 60° y los 70°N de latitud, acentuándose con la altura hasta el nivel de la estratopausa. Aunque tiene velocidades comparables con las de una corriente en chorro, los valores máximos son inferiores en más de un 50% a los observados en el vórtice estratosférico antártico. 1, record 1, Spanish, - v%C3%B3rtice%20estratosf%C3%A9rico%20%C3%A1rtico
