stratosphere crashing down

[dj-hato]

here is a cool cloud formation i took a picture of super cold air coming down from the stratosphere in a very localized fashion

it shows that a layer of super cold air is coming down through the warmer layers of the atmosphere

what i like to know is what processes are in play when this happens
i know that is cold high altitude air coming down but what makes it come down
