Discussion
Which hemisphere shows the stronger and more isolated polar vortex?
Answer: C
The southern vortex is colder, stronger and far less disturbed by planetary waves, because the southern hemisphere has weaker stationary wave forcing from topography and land-sea contrast. That is precisely why the ozone hole forms over Antarctica and not over the Arctic. The vortex is a winter feature, forming as the pole enters polar night.
