Observations of temperature, winds, and atmospheric trace gases suggest that the transition
from troposphere to stratosphere occurs in a layer, rather than at a sharp “tropopause.” In the …

Southern Asia, extending from Pakistan and Afghanistan to Indonesia and Papua New
Guinea, is one of the most heavily populated regions of the world. Biofuel and biomass …

We use a global climate model to compare the effectiveness of many climate forcing agents
for producing climate change. We find a substantial range in the “efficacy” of different …

The Asian summer monsoon anticyclone is linked to climatological deep convection over
Southeast Asia, and the coupling of circulation and convection strongly influences …

The coldest tropopause temperatures occur over the equatorial West Pacific during Northern
Hemisphere winter. Horizontal transport through this “cold trap” region causes air parcels …

Tracer variability above the Asian summer monsoon anticyclone is investigated using Aura
Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) measurements of carbon monoxide, ozone, water vapor …

During boreal summer, much of the water vapor and CO entering the global tropical
stratosphere is transported over the Asian monsoon/Tibetan Plateau (TP) region. Studies …

Interannual Changes of Stratospheric Water Vapor and Correlations with Tropical
Tropopause Temperatures in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 61 Issue 17 (2004) …

We use a Lagrangian, one‐dimensional cloud model to simulate ice cloud formation and
dehydration along trajectories in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). Time‐height curtains of …

We present results of Lagrangian troposphere‐to‐stratosphere transport (TST) in the tropics
based on trajectory calculations for the period 1979–2001. The trajectories and …
