A Climatology of the Tropical Tropopause Layer (2002, background): “These motions, which have a preferential locations in space and time ( Waugh and Polvani 2000 ), are likely to be important for determining the distribution of trace species in the TTL.”
Identification and ERA-15 Climatology of Potential Vorticity Streamers and Cutoffs near the Extratropical Tropopause (2007, background): “…define RWB either via the occurrence of reversed meridional PV gradients on isentropic surfaces (Baldwin and Holton 1988; Postel and Hitchman 1999; Waugh and Polvani 2000; Abatzoglou and Magnusdottir 2004) or with the aid of contour advection calculations (Morgenstern and Carver 1999; Scott and…”
Tropospheric water vapor, convection, and climate (2010, background): “Such intrusions have also been reported at higher levels [Waugh and Polvani, 2000], although their effect on deep convection is more difficult to assess than for the low to middle tropospheric case.”
Tropospheric Rossby Wave Breaking and the NAO/NAM (2008, background): “The PV intrusions into the tropics that Waugh and Polvani (2000) studied are, for example, not counted as RWB in the present study unless they result in overturning of PV contours. b. Defined variables The 350-”
Tropical tropopause layer (2009, background): “In the region of the so-called ‘‘westerly ducts’’ over the eastern Pacific (see Figure 5), Rossby wave breaking events can transport stratospheric air deep into the tropics [e.g., Horinouchi et al., 2000; Waugh and Polvani, 2000; Waugh and Funatsu, 2003] and also affect deep convection.”
