Sudden rise in temperature

Japanese: 突然昇温 - とつぜんしょうおん
Sudden rise in temperature

A phenomenon that occurs in the stratosphere in the upper atmosphere. In high latitudes, temperatures rise suddenly from late winter to spring, sometimes rising by 40K in a few days, and is also called sudden stratospheric warming. During seasonal warming, high latitudes are hotter than equatorial regions. This phenomenon does not occur during the transition from summer to winter. It was discovered in 1952 by R. Sherhag of Germany.

大気上層の成層圏内でおこる現象。高緯度地方で冬の終わりごろから春にかけて気温が急激に昇り、数日間で40Kの上昇をみることもあり、成層圏突然昇温ともよばれている。条季の昇温時には赤道域より高緯度のほうが高温となる。夏から冬に向かう時期にはみられない。南半球ではこの現象はおこらない。1952年にドイツのシェルハーグR. Sherhagが発見した。
