• The impact of cirrus clouds on tropical troposphere-to-stratosphere transport (2006, unknown): “In clear sky, this level is situated at 15 km or 360 K potential temperature (Gettelman et al., 2004).”
• Tropical tropopause layer (2009, background): “However, the altitude of the clear-sky LZRH shows little variation in the tropics [Gettelman et al., 2004a].”
• Annual cycle of ozone at and above the tropical tropopause: observations versus simulations with the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) (2009, background): “The seasonality of O3 above the level of zero clear sky radiation (Q=0 level around θ≈360 K as discussed in Gettelman et al., 2004) was recently explained as a consequence of the annual cycle in the tropical upwelling with the strongest and weakest upwelling in winter and summer, respectively (Rande”
• Stratospheric water vapor predicted from the Lagrangian temperature history of air entering the stratosphere in the tropics (2005, background): “Red contour lines show the density of locations where TST trajectories irreversibly pass 340 K, which is taken as representative for the location of the convective event that lifted the air mass above the level of net radiative heating at approximately 360 K potential temperature [Fueglistaler et al”
• Impact of the vertical velocity scheme on modeling transport in the tropical tropopause layer (2010, background): “Above the level of zero radiative heating (LZRH), at about 360 K, the Brewer-Dobson circulation causes further ascent to the stratospheric overworld [Holton et al., 1995], balanced by positive radiative heating [Gettelman et al., 2004a].”
