Those conditions “kind of loaded the dice a bit’’ for a stretching of the polar vortex, he said. As the bone-chilling temperatures sweep through the U.S., they’ll meet with moisture from off California and the Gulf of Mexico to set up crippling ice and snow in many areas. The polar vortex over Antarctica and its adjacent seas is isolated from air outside the region by the polar-front jet stream in the Southern Hemisphere, which circulates between approximately 50° and 65° S over the Southern Ocean.

In addition, a cold wave that struck Europe in March 2013 caused temperatures to fall more than 10 °C (18 °F) below average in parts of Germany, Russia, and Eastern Europe. Such cold waves often result in losses of crops and livestock and even human fatalities. Polar vortex, large area of persistent low pressure generally located above each of Earth’s polar regions and containing a mass of extremely cold air. Cold air is contained within the polar vortex by the polar-front jet stream (an eastward-moving belt of strong stratospheric winds that separates warm tropical air from cold polar air in the midlatitudes). The strength of the polar vortex varies with the season, but it is strongest during the winter season in each hemisphere, when the temperature contrast between the pole and the Equator is greatest.

An interesting fact about Tailed Beasts is that if their chakra is separated, that chakra becomes a separate entity. This was demonstrated in Naruto Shippuden’s Fourth Great Vortex Ninja War when Naruto and Minato fought together and activated their Nine-Tails Mode. Furthermore, he might never regain his memories, because the only way to do so would be to rejoin the rest of the chakra, but it has been destroyed.

Discover how it can lead to clearer skies, fewer storms, and ideal conditions for winter activities. Swirling, cold air from the Arctic Circle (also known as the polar vortex) is usually contained to that part of the globe. The polar vortex is a large and very cold area of low pressure that surrounds the poles.

It builds upon the original Nexus Mod Manager in pretty much every way while remaining familiar and intuitive. Being an open-source platform, it lets users and independent programmers create plugins, extensions, and frameworks that build upon its base functions and enhance the experience for all. From extensions to plugins, all your modding tools can easily be accessed via Vortex’s user-friendly interface that will feel familiar for those coming from the classic Nexus Mod Manager tool while adding more customization options. As of this writing, Vortex boasts support for over 400 games, and that number is constantly increasing, adding more titles to its catalog regularly. It also seamlessly interacts with Nexus Mods, so you can easily find and get mods for your game, check all the latest development news and updates for them, and always have the most up-to-date version installed.

It always exists, but it becomes stronger and more defined during the winter months. The stratosphere, where this vortex exists, lies above the troposphere, where our day-to-day weather occurs. The origins of the system begin in the Arctic, where relatively warmer temperatures add energy to the polar vortex and help push its cold air south. Meteorologists said the eastern two-thirds of the nation is threatened with a winter storm that could rival the damage of a major hurricane and has some origins in an Arctic that is warming from climate change. They warn that the frigid weather is likely to stick around through the rest of January and into early February, meaning the snow and ice that accumulates will take a long time to melt.
