The impact of geoengineering aerosols on stratospheric temperature and ozone (2009, background): “The assumption of zonally homogeneous conditions is adequate for the stratosphere, but may become more problematic in the tropical tropopause layer (Fueglistaler et al 2009).”
THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “In recent years it has been recognized that the tropical boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere is more appropriately viewed as a layer extending over several kilometers [ Atticks and Robinson , 1983; Highwood and Hoskins , 1998; Fueglistaler et al. , 2009].”
Assessing and understanding the impact of stratospheric dynamics and variability on the earth system (2012, background): “Last, the transport of water vapor into the stratosphere, which plays a key role in both chemistry and radiation (Solomon et al. 2010), appears sensitive to microphysical processes in the tropical tropopause layer (e.g., Fueglistaler et al. 2009).”
Tropospheric water vapor, convection, and climate (2010, background): “Another area needing further research is how to bridge the understanding of the UT/LS and tropical tropopause regions [e.g., Fueglistaler et al., 2009] with the current understanding of the midtroposphere, where idealized studies seem not to provide a fully satisfactory result.”
Chemical and dynamical discontinuity at the extratropical tropopause based on START08 and WACCM analyses (2011, background): “The tropical tropopause layer (TTL), vertically extending from 350 to 420 K and horizontally bounded by the position of the subtropical jet stream [Konopka et al., 2007; Fueglistaler et al., 2009], seems to be horizontally less well bounded over the Q2 region than over the Q1 region.”
Observed temporal evolution of global mean age of stratospheric air for the 2002 to 2010 period (2011, neutral): “The slow ascent of the air through the tropical transition layer (TTL) (e.g.Fueglistaler et al., 2009), however, was not considered then, and based on the assumption that the troposphere is well mixed, surface measurements of the age tracer were taken as a reference.”
Tropical stratospheric aerosol layer from CALIPSO lidar observations (2009, background): “The sporadic occurrence of deep overshoots is generally accepted but their impact on a global scale is still questionable [Fueglistaler et al., 2009] since they are thought to rarely occur and thus be of limited global-scale importance.”
CALIPSO detection of an Asian tropopause aerosol layer (2011, background): “[2] The Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) is generally recognized to control the entry of tropospheric air into the stratosphere [Holton et al., 1995; Fueglistaler et al., 2009].”
The Teleconnection of El Niño Southern Oscillation to the Stratosphere (2019, background): “We refer the reader to relevant Reviews of Geophysics articles that discuss these features extensively (Baldwin et al., 2001; Butchart, 2014; Fueglistaler et al., 2009; Holton et al., 1995; Waugh, 2002).”
