Impact of the vertical velocity scheme on modeling transport in the tropical tropopause layer (2010, methodology): “[4] Several model studies of transport across the TTL have recently been presented, based on both trajectory calculations and CTMs [Fueglistaler et al., 2004, 2005; Bonazzola and Haynes, 2004; Konopka et al., 2007; Levine JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 115, D03301, doi:10.1029/2009JD012023,…”
Tropical tropopause layer (2009, background): “5 ppmv [Randel et al., 2001; Fueglistaler et al., 2005] for the 1990s and early 2000s, with some observations suggesting a considerable trend in entry mixing ratios over the past 50 years or so [Rosenlof et al.”
Unprecedented evidence for deep convection hydrating the tropical stratosphere (2008, background): “This hypothesis is supported by the distribution of high cirrus clouds [e.g., Wang et al., 1996] and water vapor [Read et al., 2004], by trajectory studies [Jensen and Pfister, 2004; Fueglistaler et al., 2005] and radiative calculation [Corti et al., 2006].”
Horizontal water vapor transport in the lower stratosphere from subtropics to high latitudes during boreal summer (2013, methodology): “To first order, water vapor mixing ratios in the tropical lower stratosphere are determined by the Lagrangian saturation history of air, enabling simplified prediction models based on large-scale advection and temperatures [e.g., Fueglistaler et al., 2005; Schiller et al., 2009].”
The impact of geoengineering aerosols on stratospheric temperature and ozone (2009, background): “As the stratospheric H2O concentration depends on the minimum temperature in the profile, the annual mean H2O concentrations interpolated at 90 hPa are smaller than the corresponding temperatures at this altitude would suggest (Fueglistaler et al 2005).”
Transport in the Middle Atmosphere (2007, background): “However the amplitude (and to a lesser extent the shape) of the seasonal cycle varies from year to year, as the wave forcing varies (Fusco and Salby 1999; Randel et al. 2002).”
Control of interannual and longer‐term variability of stratospheric water vapor (2005, methodology): “We define the point of minimum saturation mixing ratio along TST trajectories as the ‘‘Lagrangian cold point’’ [Fueglistaler et al., 2005], that reflects the full four-dimensional temperature history of tropical TST (as represented in the trajectory calculations), in contrast to the conventional col”
Decreases in stratospheric water vapor after 2001: Links to changes in the tropical tropopause and the Brewer‐Dobson circulation (2006, background): “Recent calculations show that the observed annual cycle in water vapor is in quantitative agreement with transport across the seasonally varying tropopause [Fueglistaler et al., 2005].”
