A polar vortex is an area of wind moving in a circular manner over the poles of a planet such as Earth. On Earth there is a polar vortex at each pole that normally keeps the coldest air at very high latitudes. In the winters of 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 Earth's northern polar vortex became a news item when it moved off the North Pole and over North America, bringing with it extremely cold weather.

What is a polar vortex?
A polar vortex is also known as an Arctic Cyclone or Polar Hurricane and is a large scale cyclone located near the poles. These low pressure areas strengthen in the winter and weaken in the summer. They span 700-1,500 miles with circulating air moving in a counter clockwise fashion. The reason for the rotation is the Coriolis effect. Some suggest that there was a build up of cold air that was suddenly released from the Arctic.

Why does the hole in the ozone layer over the South Pole fluctuate in size throughout the year?
The process that causes ozone depletion works best at low temperatures. There is a naturally ocurring polar vortex that traps super cold air in the upper atmosphere over Antarctica. This vortex is strongest in the winter and largely dissapears in the summer. This means that the hole is largest and most prevalent during the winter.
What do you mean like dissolve like?
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.

What is a polar vortex made of?
The polar vortex is simply made of cold air. It isn't anything unusual. It is a low pressure area that develops over the north pole in the winter and, for the most part, keeps the coldest air trapped there. The term gained popularity in the media when a portion of the polar vortex moved away from the Arctic and into portions of the United States and Canada.
Hat is the name for the horseshoe-shaped ring formation of the atmosphere?
The horseshoe-shaped ring formation in the atmosphere is called the "polar vortex." It is a large area of low pressure and cold air that typically sits over the Earth's polar regions. The polar vortex can weaken or become distorted, leading to shifts in weather patterns and bringing cold air southward.
