The extratropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (Ex‐UTLS) is a transition region
between the stratosphere and the troposphere. The Ex‐UTLS includes the tropopause, a …

This paper provides a review of stratosphere‐troposphere exchange (STE), with a focus on
processes in the extratropics. It also addresses the relevance of STE for tropospheric …

I present an analysis of ozonesonde data, synthesizing what is known about the distribution
of tropospheric ozone. Major features of the distribution are highlighted, and …

A Climatology of Rossby Wave Breaking along the Subtropical Tropopause in: Journal of the
Atmospheric Sciences Volume 56 Issue 3 (1999) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation …

Definitions of the extratropical tropopause are examined from the perspective of chemical
composition. Fine‐scale measurements of temperature, ozone, carbon monoxide, and water …

Interannual variability of the tropical tropopause is studied using long time series of
radiosonde data, together with global tropopause analyses from the National Centers for …

A method is presented to determine tropopause height from gridded temperature data with
coarse vertical resolution. The algorithm uses a thermal definition of the tropopause, which …

A vertically high resolved climatology of the thermal and wind structure of the extratropical
tropopause region is presented. The climatology is based on data from 80 US radiosonde …

Statistics of the global tropopause pressure are evaluated for the period between 1979 and
1993. The analysis is based on gridded data as provided by the ECMWF reanalysis project …

Simultaneous in situ measurements of the long‐lived trace species N2O, CH4, 12, CFC‐
113, CFC‐11, CCl4, CH3CCl3, H‐1211, and SF6 were made in the lower stratosphere and …
