Future trends in isentropic mixing in the lower stratosphere remain largely unexplored, in contrast with other aspects of stratospheric tracer transport. This study examines trends in effective diffusivity (κ eff), a measure of the potential of the flow to produce isentropic mixing, in recent chemistry-climate model simulations. The results highlight substantial reduction of κ eff in the upper flanks of the subtropical jets from fall to spring, which are strengthened in response to greenhouse gas increases. This contrasts with stronger eddy transport, associated with increased wave drag in the region, peaking in summer near the critical lines. The key role of changes in tracer meridional gradients in addition to transport barriers for isentropic mixing trends is evidenced. The projected ozone recovery leads to enhanced κ eff in polar austral spring and summer, associated with a weaker and shorter-lived austral polar vortex by the end of the 21st century. Plain Language Summary As the temperature of the tropical upper troposphere increases due to continued increase in greenhouse gases, the upper flanks of the subtropical jets are reinforced, with important implications for tracer transport in the lower stratosphere. Here, we examine for the first time the future trends in isentropic mixing, a key component of tracer transport in the lower stratosphere. The results show an upward extension of the mixing barriers associated with the core of the subtropical jets in winter. On the other hand, tracer eddy transport above the subtropical jets increases in summer, due to the upward and equatorward shift of the region where Rossby waves dissipate (i.e., the critical lines). In addition, ozone hole recovery over the 21st century warms the austral polar stratosphere, weakens the polar night jet, and shifts critical lines to lower levels in summer, enhancing wave breaking and isentropic mixing in the polar lower stratosphere. Such effect overcomes the strengthening of the Southern Hemisphere polar vortex by greenhouse gas increases. These mixing diagnostics can help interpret observed trends in tracer concentrations and could be valuable in attempting to reconcile modeled and observed trends in stratospheric transport.
