Mean radiative energy balance and vertical mass fluxes in the equatorial upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
[1] We use radiative transfer calculations to quantify vertical mass transport in the equatorial upper troposphere (UT) and lower stratosphere (LS), employing high resolution sonde measurements of temperature, ozone and water vapor at seven equatorial locations (10 S–10 N). The influence of clouds is examined using data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) and the ...
متن کاملThe Extratropical Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere
[1] The extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (Ex‐UTLS) is a transition region between the stratosphere and the troposphere. The Ex‐UTLS includes the tropopause, a strong static stability gradient and dynamic barrier to transport. The barrier is reflected in tracer profiles. This region exhibits complex dynamical, radiative, and chemical characteristics that place stringent spa...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Dynamical Fields Associated with Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves
Convectively coupled equatorial waves, as previously detected in studies of wavenumber-frequency spectra of tropical clouds, are studied in more detail. Composite dynamical structures of the waves are obtained using linear regression between selectively filtered satellite-observed outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data, and various fields from a global reanalysis dataset. The selective filterin...
متن کاملVariability of the Lagrangian turbulent diffusion in the lower stratosphere
Ozone and nitrous oxide are measured at high spatial and temporal resolution by instruments flying on the ER2 NASA research aircraft. Comparing the airborne transects to reconstructions by ensemble of diffusive backward trajectories allows estimation of the average vertical Lagrangian turbulent diffusion experienced by the air parcels. The resulting estimates show large Lagrangian diffusion of ...
متن کاملPlanetary wave activity in the polar lower stratosphere
Temperature data from the COSMIC GPS-RO satellite constellation are used to study the distribution and variability of planetary wave activity in the low to midstratosphere (15–40 km) of the Arctic and Antarctic from September 2006 until March 2009. Stationary waves are separated from travelling waves and their amplitudes, periods and small-scale vertical distribution then examined. COSMIC obser...
