Water Vapor and Ozone Variations in the Tropical Tropopause Layer during the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment Campaign

Abstract: Water vapor and ozone profiles in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) are investigated using measurements from balloon-borne frost-point hygrometers and ozone sensors during the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment campaign. Variations in water vapor, ozone, and temperature are described during soundings taken over a period of two weeks and over a distance of approximately 2,700 km along the equator. These observations indicate that the first and latter halves of the campaign period are characterized as cold … Show more

“…The importance of hypothesis (2) is extremely difficult to evaluate, making hypothesis (3) impossible to ascertain since it all depends on the horizontal extent of the gradients that may be vertical-scale dependent. In addition, tilts of the isentropic surfaces due to baroclinic conditions or internal wave motions can produce apparent discrepancies that would not appear if altitude coordinates were replaced by the potential temperature θ coordinates (e.g., Koishi and Shiotani, 2012). However, hypothesis (3) could be suggested for the important case of saturated conditions (Vaughan and Worthington, 2000).…”

“…Penurunan jumlah H2O di TTL disebabkan oleh mekanisme dehidrasi fisik. Saat udara troposfer yang membawa uap air mencapai TTL, terjadi proses dehidrasi akibat penurunan temperatur yang ekstrim di TTL (CPT) (Marcy et al, 2007;Koishi and Shiotani, 2012).…”

“…Hal ini diperkirakan karena temperatur yang dingin pada lapisan TTL sehingga jumlah uap air yang dapat mencapai TTL menurun atau disebut juga dengan istilah dehidrasi di TTL seperti yang telah dijelaskan sebelumnya (Koishi and Shiotani, 2012).…”
