Radiosonde‐Derived Temperature Inversions and Their Association With Fog Over 37 Melt Seasons in East Greenland

Abstract: We present temperature inversion characteristics during fog and nonfog conditions at three east Greenland coastal weather stations during Arctic melt seasons 1980–2016. For this purpose, we developed a novel automated method to extract fog‐top height (FTH) from Integrated Global Radiosonde Archive data, which is applicable to any fog thermodynamic profile and includes an improved interpolation of saturation between sounding levels. From the analysis of >22,000 melt‐season soundings we conclude that inversions … Show more

“…The tropospheric temperature inversions were identified following the definition reported in Kahl (1990) and applied later by, among others, Wetzel and Brümmer (2011), and Gilson et al (2018.

“…The humidity inversions were identified following the methodology applied in our previous studies on the low-tropospheric temperature inversions (Palarz et al 2018;Palarz et al 2019) enabling us to compare reliably the parameters of both inversion types. The definition of an inversion refers then to that reported in Kahl (1990), Wetzel and Brümmer (2011), Zhang et al (2011), and Gilson et al (2018. Literally, each of the vertical profiles of specific humidity (or air temperature, respectively) obtained from the ERA-Interim reanalysis was scanned upward to locate the first layer in which specific humidity (air temperature) increases with altitude.…”

“…Note, multiple inversion layers can be present in a single radiosonde profile. The methodology for characterizing inversion layer is similar to Kahl et al (46) and Gilson et al (47). If one or more inversion layers are detected within <100 meters of the daily vertical temperature profile, those layers are considered as a single inversion layer.…”
