Tropopause referenced ozone climatology and inter-annual variability (1994–2003) from the MOZAIC programme (2005, unknown): “Pan et al. (2004) statistically identified a transition layer centered on the thermal tropopause with aircraft measurements.”
Fine‐scale structure of the extratropical tropopause region (2006, background): “A recent comparison of different tropopause definitions [Pan et al., 2004] has revealed good agreement JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 111, D04104, doi:10.1029/2005JD006301, 2006 1Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre, Oberpfaffenhofen, Wesseling,…”
Chemical and dynamical discontinuity at the extratropical tropopause based on START08 and WACCM analyses (2011, background): “This is a different approach complementary to studies investigating the vertical trace gas gradients using the altitude relative to the lapse rate tropopause [Pan et al., 2004; Hegglin et al., 2009; Tilmes et al., 2010].”
THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (2011, methodology): “Pan et al. [2004, 2007b] examined the distribution of mixed air mass in a tropopause ‐ relative coordinate.”
The Extratropical Tropopause Inversion Layer: Global Observations with GPS Data, and a Radiative Forcing Mechanism (2007, background): “This may be influenced by the presence of a lower stability region above the tropopause in the subtropics, which in turn is related to the proximity of the tropical tropopause [and the frequent occurrence of a secondary tropopause above ZLRT1, as discussed in Randel et al. (2007)].”
A global view of the extratropical tropopause transition layer from Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer O3, H2O, and CO (2009, methodology): “The apparent increase in the transition during NH winter and spring with higher O3 ratios at the top of the transition, however, is mainly due to the seasonal variation of O3 in the LMS due to the downward flow of stratospheric O3 which maximizes in late winter and early spring [Logan, 1985; Haynes ”
