Short summary
This paper focuses on the response of the polar hydroxyl layer in the mesosphere to Arctic sudden stratospheric warming events with an elevated stratopause, revealing significant phase-dependent variations in hydroxyl distribution driven by gravity wave drag changes. These findings enhance our understanding of vertical and dynamical-photochemical coupling in the middle and upper atmosphere, which also offer valuable implications for the upper atmospheric sounding and modeling.
