What are the odds of a stratospheric polar vortex disruption this winter? In this month's Polar Vortex Blog our experts take a look at two things that help predict the chances for a disruption, one of which is the Quasi-biennial Oscillation (QBO).

The QBO describes an approximately 2-year (or, “quasi-biennial”) cycle of alternating easterly (from the east) and westerly (from the west) winds in the tropical stratosphere. This flip-flop of tropical winds can either allow waves in the stratosphere to keep traveling into the subtropical regions (if the QBO winds are blowing from the west) or force them to break closer to the pole (if the QBO winds are blowing from the east).

This is one explanation for why we see weaker polar vortex winds and increased chances of sudden warmings during “easterly QBO” and stronger polar vortex winds and reduced chances of sudden warmings during “westerly QBO”.

🔥BREAKING: Activists in Durban, South Africa are outside corporate plastic polluter Unilever's HQ.

It’s time for serious action to phase out your single-use plastic packaging and advocate for a Global Plastics Treaty to cap and phase down plastic production.

Our research shows that the blanketing the ocean can’t be simply cleaned up. Flashy “false solutions”, like ocean cleanup, chemical recycling, and plastic-eating microbes merely distract us from the urgent need to turn off the tap.

Instead, we need to look upstream to develop solutions before plastic gets into the environment in the first place. 5 Gyres is committed to using science to inform solutions that reduce the harm of plastic pollution where we’ll have the biggest impact - at the source.

Stay tuned as we dive into our work focused on Parks, Policy, PHA, and Parkas, and support real solutions today!

Americans have specific expectations for their cars. Do EVs need to evolve to meet their demands – or are consumers' perceptions miscalibrated?

Our use of plastic is simply out of control ...

A report warns today is the point in the year where the amount of short-life plastic waste being produced annually exceeds the global capacity to manage it effectively.
