On the Maintenance of High Tropical Cirrus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thin tropical cirrus layers sometimes extend hundreds of kilometers horizontally and often persist for time periods of several hours to more than a day before dissipating. Due to their ubiquity and location in the very cold tropical upper troposphere and above the very warm tropical ocean, tropical cirrus clouds play a major role in the earth’s radiation budget (Liou 1986). Despite their impact on the climate of the earth, relatively little is known about tropical cirrus processes.

Comparison of Cirrus Cloud Radiative Properties and Dynamical Processes at Two Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Sites in the Tropical Western Pacific
Upper tropospheric humidity plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of tropical cirrus clouds. Deep convection is crucial for the transport of water vapor from the boundary layer to the upper troposphere and is responsible for the formation of anvil cirrus that can spread horizontally over considerable distances and persist for several hours. In addition, recent studies have li...
متن کاملEvaluation of tropical cirrus cloud properties derived from ECMWF model output and ground based measurements over Nauru Island
[1] Cirrus clouds play an important role both radiatively and dynamically in the tropics. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the formation and persistence of tropical cirrus is an important step in accurately predicting cirrus in forecast and climate models. In this study, we compare ground-based measurements of cloud properties with those predicted by the ECMWF model at a location in...
متن کاملCirrus Radiative Properties in the Tropical Western Pacific
Cirrus clouds in tropical regions are often located high in the cold upper troposphere and have low optical depths. In addition, tropical cirrus often extend in large sheets up to 1000 km horizontally, which may have a large influence on the energy budget of the atmosphere. Characterizing the location and radiative properties of cirrus clouds is an important step in understanding the processes ...
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 کاملThe impact of tropical convection and cirrus on upper tropospheric humidity: A Lagrangian analysis of satellite measurements
[1] Geostationary satellite observations are used in conjunction with an objective pattern-tracking algorithm to describe the Lagrangian evolution of convection, clouds and water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere. This analysis reveals that larger convective events within a Lagrangian air mass are associated with larger and longerlived cirrus anvil shields. Convective systems which genera...
