The roles of convection, extratropical mixing, and in-situ freeze-drying in the tropical tropopause layer
Mechanisms for transporting and dehydrating air across the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) are investigated with a conceptual two dimensional (2-D) model. The 2-D TTL model combines the Holton and Gettelman cold trap dehydration mechanism (Holton and Gettelman, 2001) with the two column convection model of Folkins and Martin (2005). We investigate 3 possible transport scenarios through the TTL:...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Evaluation of balloon and satellite water vapour measurements in theSouthern tropical UTLS during the HIBISCUS
The authors combine balloon-borne in situ measurements of water vapour in the tropical tropopause region during the HIBISCUS campaign with observational data of several satellite instruments. Although the performed measurements are of large scientific value, they are not presented well in the paper. The approach of evaluating different types of water vapour measurements is diluted by the way th...
متن کاملConvective formation of pileus cloud near the tropopause
Pileus clouds form where humid, vertically stratified air is mechanically displaced ahead of rising convection. This paper describes convective formation of pileus cloud in the tropopause transition layer (TTL), and explores a possible link to the formation of long-lasting cirrus at cold temperatures. The study examines in detail in-situ measurements from off the coast of Honduras during the Ju...
متن کاملEvaluation of balloon and satellite water vapour measurements in the Southern tropical and subtropical UTLS during the HIBISCUS campaign
Balloon water vapour in situ and remote measurements in the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) obtained during the HIBISCUS campaign around 20 S in Brazil in February–March 2004 using a tunable diode laser (μSDLA), a surface acoustic wave (SAW) and a Vis-NIR solar occultation spectrometer (SAOZ) on a long duration balloon, have been used for evaluating the performances of ...
متن کاملComparison of the nutritive value of Madder, Rubia tinctorum L. and Alfalfa, Medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements
This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, digestibility, degradability and nutritive value of madder, Rubia tinctorum L. and alfalfa Medicago sativa. using in vitro and in situ measurements. The mean values for OM, CP, NDF, ADF and EE were 892.5, 172.0, 306.5, 219.4 and 16.0 g/kg DM for madder hay, and 921.3, 141.4, 482.0, 361.1 and 6.50 g/kg DM for alfalfa hay, respectiv...
