Expansion of the Hadley Cell under Global Warming: Winter versus Summer (2012, unknown): “The tropopause height H t is computed from temperature data as the lowest pressure level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 8 C km 2 1 , following the al-gorithm of Reichler et al. (2003).”
Causes of Higher Climate Sensitivity in CMIP6 Models (2020, background): “tropopause (Reichler et al., 2003) and then annually averaged to produce a 150-year time series of TOA radiative flux anomalies due to each field.”
Polar Amplification in CCSM4: Contributions from the Lapse Rate and Surface Albedo Feedbacks (2014, methodology): “For the tropopause height, a definition from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is applied (Reichler et al. 2003): The tropopause is encountered at the lowest level where 2dT/dz , 2Kkm21, and where the average lapse rate over the following 2km does not exceed 2Kkm21.”
Implementation of the CMIP6 Forcing Data in the IPSL‐CM6A‐LR Model (2020, methodology): “We then diagnose the pressure of the tropopause using the algorithm from Reichler et al. (2003) and only consider the aerosol above the tropopause.”
