Abstract:The anomalous variability of extreme cases of the tropical tropopause provides insight into the stratosphere‐troposphere exchange process crucial for understanding climate change. The present study analyses the extreme variability of the tropopause and its thermal structure over the tropics using GPS radio occultation data over the period 2006–2019. The extremely cold and warm tropopauses and extremely high and low tropopauses are identified based on the cold point tropopause temperature and height, respective… Show more
