The tropopause inversion layer in models and analyses
[1] Recent high-resolution radiosonde climatologies have revealed a tropopause inversion layer (TIL) in the extratropics: temperature strongly increases just above a sharp local cold point tropopause. Here, it is asked to what extent a TIL exists in current general circulation models (GCMs) and meteorological analyses. Only a weak hint of a TIL exists in NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data. In contrast, ...

متن کاملDouble tropopause formation in idealized baroclinic life cycles: The key role of an initial tropopause inversion layer
[1] Recent studies have shown that double tropopauses exist in all seasons, and at all longitudes, in the midlatitudes. As of yet, the key mechanism responsible for their formation is not known. In this study, we explore the connection between double tropopauses and midlatitude baroclinic eddies. This is investigated in the context of idealized life cycle experiments. The key finding of this st...
متن کاملA Climatology of the Tropical Tropopause Layer
The tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is a transition region between the troposphere and the stratosphere. In this study the vertical extent of the TTL is diagnosed from radiosonde and ozonesonde profiles in the tropics and a climatology of this layer is presented. The radiative balance in the TTL is also characterized. The TTL is locally defined as extending from the level of the lapse rate mini...
متن کاملMaintenance of tropical tropopause layer cirrus
5 [1] A two-dimensional cloud resolving model with explicit bin microphysics is used to 6 study the maintenance of tropical tropopause layer (TTL) cirrus. Numerical simulations 7 using this model show that a TTL cirrus with a maximum radiative heating rate of 3 K/day 8 is able to self-maintain for as long as 2 days if it contains ice crystals whose initial 9 mean radius is smaller than about 5 ...
