- 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 mean age of air is calculated from the time lag relative to a linear increasing10 source within the boundary layer (Waugh and Hall, 2002).”
- 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).”
- Characterizing Transport between the Surface Mixed Layer and the Ocean Interior with a Forward and Adjoint Global Ocean Transport Model (2005, background): “A useful review in the context of stratospheric air can be found in Waugh and Hall (2002) .”
- Age of stratospheric air unchanged within uncertainties over the past 30 years (2009, background): “Model simulations have shown that the mean age of stratospheric ai”
- Control of interannual and longer‐term variability of stratospheric water vapor (2005, background): “where the seasonal weighting w(t) of TST is taken from Holton [1990] and the (climatological mean) stratospheric age spectrum h(t) from Waugh and Hall [2002] , and truncated at 6 years (the conclusions drawn below are not sensitive to the precise shape of the age spectrum).”
- Satellite remote sounding of mid‐tropospheric CO2 (2008, result): “We also investigated the impact of applying a correction for the effects of the age of stratospheric air [Boering et al., 1996; Waugh and Hall, 2002;Morgan et al., 2004] to the post-retrieved CO2 results and found that it did not alter any of our conclusions.”
- Observed temporal evolution of global mean age of stratospheric air for the 2002 to 2010 period (2011, background): “As shown in several studies (Waugh and Hall, 2002), the Green’s function of a one-dimensional model can already approximate the Green’s function of the real stratosphere quite well.”
- Transport in the Middle Atmosphere (2007, background): “The concept has applications in many different contexts (see Waugh and Hall 2002) but in the case of the stratosphere refers to the time a parcel of air has spent in the stratosphere since entering it across the tropical tropopause.”
- Interannual changes of stratospheric water vapor and correlations with tropical tropopause temperatures (2004, background): “However , as discussed in detail by Waugh and Hall (2002), in general the propagation time (or phase lag) of periodically varying tracers in the tropical stratosphere varies with the period of the cycle, with slower propagation for longer periods.”
- Impact of the vertical velocity scheme on modeling transport in the tropical tropopause layer (2010, background): “In the theory of age spectra [Hall and Plumb, 1994; Waugh and Hall, 2002; Schoeberl et al., 2003], the term age corresponds to the transit time of an air parcel between two locations and age spectrum to the distribution of these ages within a given volume of air.”
- THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, background): “These transit times lead to mean ages (the first moment of the age spectrum) above a year in the extratropical strato-sphere around 20 km [ Waugh and Hall , 2002].”
