Before 2014, the northern hemisphere had been warming as expected from radiative and dynamical climate models.
“However, the seasonal evolution in the northern hemisphere was less dramatic: although the north had been warming, as expected from radiative and dynamical climate models13–15, there was no sign of the sharp latitudinal thermal gradients (and hence vertical windshear) that had been associated with the SPSV at the beginning of Cassini’s mission.”

Negative windshear dominates poleward of 78°N and p < 1 mbar throughout the time series, because temperatures have always increased towards 90°N despite the sequence starting in polar winter, counter to the expectations of radiative climate models.
“Negative windshear dominates poleward of 78°N and p < 1 mbar throughout the time series, because temperatures have always increased towards 90°N despite the sequence starting in polar winter, counter to the expectations of radiative climate models12,13,40.”

The northern temperature profile is consistent with radiative climate model predictions for 2-100 mbar, while the southern temperature profile is always warmer, even though maximum stratospheric temperatures (~160 K at 0.3-0.5 mbar) are similar at both poles.
“While the northern T(p) is consistent with these predictions for 2–100 mbar, the southern T(p) is always warmer, even though the maximum stratospheric temperatures (T ~ 160 K at 0.3–0.5 mbar) are similar at both poles.”
From A hexagon in Saturn's northern stratosphere surrounding the emerging summertime polar vortex (2018) · cites this paper as [13]
The warmer southern lower stratosphere hints at a missing source of heat in the radiative model during southern summer, possibly stratospheric aerosols or stronger polar subsidence, the latter supported by excess C2H2 in the SPSV compared to the NPSV.
“This hints at a missing source of heat in the radiative model for the lower stratosphere during southern summer that was not required in the north at Ls = 88°, maybe due to stratospheric aerosols (radiative) or stronger polar subsidence (adiabatic heating)12,13,25, the latter being supported by the excess C2H2 observed in the SPSV compared to the NPSV in Table 1, discussed below.”

Aerosols constitute a significant part of the radiative budget and can introduce a 5-6 K warming effect in the stratosphere.
“However, aerosols also constitute a significant part of the radiative budget13, which can introduce a 5–6 K warming effect in the stratosphere25.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
