• Stratospheric water vapor predicted from the Lagrangian temperature history of air entering the stratosphere in the tropics (2005, methodology): “…we have shown that estimates of water vapor mixing ratios of air entering the stratosphere based on trajectory calculations using operational analysis data for a few selected seasons are low enough to be in good agreement with measurements [Bonazzola and Haynes, 2004; Fueglistaler et al., 2004].”
• Unprecedented evidence for deep convection hydrating the tropical stratosphere (2008, background): “, 2004], trajectory studies [e.g., Jensen and Pfister , 2004; Fueglistaler et al., 2004] and radiative calculation [Corti et al.”
• Transport in the Middle Atmosphere (2007, background): “Fueglistaler et al. (2005) argue, on the basis of trajectory calculations, that this (together with saturation at 100% relative humidity over ice) is enough to quantitatively explain observed stratospheric humidity levels, without the need to invoke mesoscale or detailed cloud microphysical…”
• Impact of monsoon circulations on the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (2004, methodology): “with the trajectory analyses of Fueglistaler et al. [2004] using ECMWF analysis winds, which show that this region”
• Radiation balance of the tropical tropopause layer (2004, background): “The level has been termed the ‘stagnation surface’ by Sherwood and Dessler [2003], and at this level residence times of trajectories in the TTL become long [Fueglistaler et al., 2004].”
• Control of interannual and longer‐term variability of stratospheric water vapor (2005, methodology): “We use the trajectory calculations of tropical troposphere-to-stratosphere transport (TST) of Fueglistaler et al. [2005] for the period 1979–2002 to predict [H2O]e, and analyze the processes controlling interannual variability in the model calculations.”
• Impact of the vertical velocity scheme on modeling transport in the tropical tropopause layer (2010, methodology): “Gates to the TTL [70] The regions where air enters the TTL are very similar for the different trajectory scenarios and coincide with results from earlier studies [Chen, 1995; Fueglistaler et al., 2004].”
• Tropical tropopause layer (2009, methodology): “organization, seen both in analysis data [e.g., Bonazzola and Haynes, 2004; Fueglistaler et al., 2004] and in atmospheric”
