Diagnosis of processes controlling water vapour in the tropical tropopause layer by a Lagrangian cirrus model
We have developed a Lagrangian air-parcel cirrus model (LACM), to diagnose the processes controlling water in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). LACM applies parameterised microphysics to air parcel trajectories. The parameterisation includes the homogeneous freezing of aerosol droplets, the growth/sublimation of ice particles, and sedimentation of ice particles, so capturing the main dehydra...
متن کاملMillimeter- and Submillimeter-Wave Observations of Low Vapor and Liquid Water Amounts in the Arctic Winter
Water vapor and cloud liquid measurements during cold and dry conditions are difficult because of the lack of sensitivity of conventional instruments to low amounts (Racette et al. 2005). On the other hand, millimeter (mm)and submillimeter (submm)-wavelength radiometry may offer a powerful tool to increase the sensitivity during Arctic conditions. In response to this need, the Microwave System ...

متن کاملHow do the water vapor and carbon monoxide ‘‘tape recorders’’ start near the tropical tropopause?
[1] This paper evaluates geo-seasonal relationships in tropical deep convection using radar and infrared data from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), near tropopause thin clouds from Stratospheric Air and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II, water vapor and carbon monoxide (CO) from the Earth Observing System (EOS) Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), and the tropopause temperature from National Center ...
متن کاملValidation of water vapour transport in the tropical tropopause region in coupled Chemistry Climate Models
In this study backward trajectories from the tropical lower stratosphere were calcu-5 coupled chemistry climate model (CCM) data. The calculated trajectories were analyzed to determine the distribution of points where individual air masses encounter the minimum temperature and thus minimum water vapour mixing ratio during their ascent through the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) into the stratos...
