A global view of the extratropical tropopause transition layer from Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer O3, H2O, and CO (2009, methodology): “…of a variable of interest relative to the tropopause height) are widely used in UTLS studies of both chemical tracer distributions [Logan et al., 1999; Hoor et al., 2004; Pan et al., 2004; Hegglin et al., 2006] and dynamical variables [Birner et al., 2002; Birner, 2006; Randel et al., 2007].”
The Extratropical Tropopause Inversion Layer: Global Observations with GPS Data, and a Radiative Forcing Mechanism (2007, methodology): “Birner (2006) suggested that the TIL could result from large-scale poleward heat fluxes (associated with deep extratropical baroclinic eddies), acting on the background temperature gradient in the tropopause region.”
Transport in the Middle Atmosphere (2007, background): “The transition region may well be related to the tropopause inversion layer identified by Birner (2006) from highvertical-resolution temperature profiles, as the vertical scales are comparable, although this has yet to be established.”
THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “Similar static stability enhancements are found in analysis systems [ Birner et al. , 2006], models [ Birner et al. , 2006; Hegglin et al. , 2010], and satellite temperature profiles [ Randel et al. , 2007a; Grise et al. , 2010].”
General aspects of a T213L256 middle atmosphere general circulation model (2008, result): “above the extratropical tropopause, similar to that indicated by radiosonde observations [e.g., Birner, 2006 ].”
Horizontal water vapor transport in the lower stratosphere from subtropics to high latitudes during boreal summer (2013, background): “…minimum indicates weakened horizontal transport across the subtropical transport barrier at heights of the subtropical jet, and approximately coincides with the local maximum in static stability (measured in terms of the Brunt-Vaisala frequency N 2) of the tropopause inversion layer [Birner, 2006].”
Observational characteristics of double tropopauses (2007, unknown): “We note that this structure is consistent with the tropopause inversion layer identified as a climatological feature in high-resolution radiosonde data by Birner [2006]. Figure 1.”
