Tropical tropopause layer

Creator:

Fueglistaler, S., Desller, A.E., Dunkerton, T.J., Folkins, I., Fu, Q., and Mote, Philip W.

Abstract:

Observations of temperature, winds, and atmospheric trace gases suggest that the transition from troposphere to stratosphere occurs in a layer, rather than at a sharp ‘‘tropopause.’’ In the tropics, this layer is often called the ‘‘tropical tropopause layer’’ (TTL). We present an overview of observations in the TTL and discuss...

Intraseasonal variations of water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere and tropopause region

Creator:

Mote, Philip W., Clark, Hannah L., Dunkerton, Timothy J., Harwood, Robert S., and Pumphrey, Hugh C.

Abstract:

We show the signature of the tropical intraseasonal oscillation (TIO) in upper tropospheric moisture and dynamical fields, roughly between 200 and 100 hPa. Relationships among these fields are examined using lag-correlation analysis and using multivariate extended empirical orthogonal functions (MEEOFs), which maximize the shared explained variance among several fields for...
