Seasonality and extent of extratropical TST derived from in-situ CO measurements during SPURT

We present airborne in-situ trace gas measurements which were performed on eight campaigns between November 2001 and July 2003 during the SPURT-project (SPURenstofftransport in der Tropopausenregion, trace gas transport in the tropopause region). The measurements on a quasi regular basis allowed an overview of the seasonal variations of the trace gas distribution in the tropopause region over E...

Diagnosis of Zonal Mean Relative Humidity Changes in a Warmer Climate

The zonal mean relative humidity response to a doubling of CO2 in a climate model is examined using a global climate model and an offline tracer transport model. Offline tracer transport model simulations are driven by the output from two configurations of the climate model, one with 1979 concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases and one with doubled CO2. A set of last saturation tracers i...

Long-term evolution of the cold point tropical tropopause: Simulation results and attribution analysis

[1] The height, pressure, and temperature of the cold point tropical tropopause are examined in three 140 year simulations of a coupled chemistry climate model. Tropopause height increases approximately steadily in the simulations at a mean rate of 63 ± 3 m/decade (2s confidence interval). The pressure trend changes near the year 2000 from 1.03 ± 0.30 hPa/decade in the past to 0.55 ± 0.06 hPa/d...

Effect of Tropical Waves on the Tropical Tropopause-Transition-Layer Upwelling

An initial-value problem is employed with a GCM to investigate the role of the convectively driven Rossby and Kelvin waves for tropopause-transition-layer (TTL) upwelling in the tropics. The convective heating is mimicked with a prescribed heating field and the Lagrangian upwelling is identified by examining the evolution of passive tracer fields whose initial distribution is identical to the i...

Isotopes, seasonal signals, and transport near the tropical tropopause

A recent model study (Sherwood and Dessler 2001) found that dehydration of air within energetic overshooting convective cells, followed by slow lofting into the stratosphere, could account for moisture levels in the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere given realistic horizontal transports and diabatic circulations. Here, we present augmented model simulations of transport across the tropic...
