This paper presents the first quantitative relationship between the cold point tropopause
(CPT) and tropical easterly jet (TEJ) using radiosonde observations over Gadanki (13.45° N …

Abstract Knowledge of the spatiotemporal coverage of cirrus clouds is vital in quantifying the
radiation budget of the Earth–atmosphere system. In this paper, we present the diurnal and …

The variations of the cold point tropopause (CPT), convective tropopause (COT), lapse rate
tropopause (LRT), and tropical tropopause layer (TTL) from subdaily to seasonal timescales …

The present study examines the possible role of the “freeze and dry effect,” which is
generally believed to occur when the tropopause temperature is lower than 191 K. So far …

Using a coordinated experimental observation under Middle Atmospheric Dynamics
(MIDAS) program, an extensive study is carried out to quantify the role of gravity waves in …

Using the MST radar data of vertical wind, the characteristics of the tropical tropopause,
following four different definitions, depending on 1) temperature lapse rate, 2) cold point, 3) …

We describe a 2‐day wave event observed in high‐resolution radiosonde soundings of
horizontal wind and temperature taken during the TWP‐ICE experiment in Darwin area. The …

The three component wind data from MST radar at Gadanki (13.5∘ N, 79.2∘ E) are used to
study the modulation of the tropical tropopause by wave disturbances in the winter seasons …

Extensive study of middle atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) has been carried out to
characterize seasonal variability of wave associated potential energy and vertical …

The characteristics of the cold point tropopause (CPT), convective tropopause (COT) and
tropical tropopause layer (TTL) in the tropical region at different longitudes are studied using …
