Aerosol measurements in the troposphere and stratosphere.
Light scattering measurements from a searchlight beam were carried out in New Mexico to determine the aerosol properties of the atmosphere. Although data were acquired to an altitude of about 70 km, the results show the aerosol attenuation parameters to be significant to about 35 km. The expression for the aerosol attenuation coefficient is derived based on the field geometry in conjunction wit...
متن کاملStratosphere-troposphere Exchange
In the past, studies of stratosphere-troposphere exchange of mass and chemical species have mainly emphasized the synopticand small-scale mechanisms of exchange. This review, however, includes also the global-scale aspects of exchange, such as the transport across an isentropic surface (potential temperature about 380 K) that in the tropics lies just above the tropopause, near the 100-hPa press...

متن کاملThe Coupled Stratosphere–Troposphere Response to Impulsive Forcing from the Troposphere
A simple atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) is used to investigate the transient response of the stratosphere–troposphere system to externally imposed pulses of lower-tropospheric planetary wave activity. The atmospheric GCM is a dry, hydrostatic, global primitive-equations model, whose circulation includes an active polar vortex and a tropospheric jet maintained by baroclinic eddies. ...
متن کاملCO2 in the upper troposphere: Influence of stratosphere-troposphere exchange
[1] A two-dimensional transport model constrained to measured surface CO2 concentrations was used to simulate the spatial and temporal variation of CO2 in the atmosphere for the period from 1975 to 2004. We find that the amplitude, phase and shape of the CO2 seasonal cycle vary as a function of both altitude and latitude. Cross tropopause exchanges, especially the downward branch of the Brewer-...
