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 ...
متن کاملIce nucleation and dehydration in the Tropical Tropopause Layer.
Optically thin cirrus near the tropical tropopause regulate the humidity of air entering the stratosphere, which in turn has a strong influence on the Earth's radiation budget and climate. Recent high-altitude, unmanned aircraft measurements provide evidence for two distinct classes of cirrus formed in the tropical tropopause region: (i) vertically extensive cirrus with low ice number concentra...
متن کاملProcesses regulating short-lived species in the tropical tropopause layer
[1] A one-dimensional model of vertical transport in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is developed. The model uses vertical advection, a convective source, and a chemical sink to simulate the profiles of very short lived substances in the TTL. The model simulates evanescent profiles of short-lived hydrocarbon species observed by satellite and is also used to simulate short-lived bromine spec...
