Influence of convective transport on tropospheric ozone and its precursors in a chemistry-climate model [PDF]
The impact of convection on tropospheric O3 and its precursors has been examined in a coupled chemistry-climate model. There are two ways that convection affects O3. First, convection affects O3 by vertical mixing of O3 itself.

Impact of tropical land convection on the water vapour budget in the tropical tropopause layer [PDF]
The tropical deep overshooting convection is known to be most intense above continental areas such as South America, Africa, and the maritime continent. However, its impact on the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) at global scale remains debated.

Cirrus and water vapor in the tropical tropopause layer observed by Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) [PDF]
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is sensitive to water vapor and ozone in the lower stratosphere. The Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES), another of the instruments on UARS, has a spatial and ...

Stronger zonal convective clustering associated with a wider tropical rain belt
How the spatial patterns of deep convection affect the large-scale dynamics of the atmosphere remains an open question. Here, it is shown that if convection along the equator is clustered, the tropical rain belt widens and exhibits a double peak ...

Aerosol composition of the tropical upper troposphere [PDF]
Aerosol composition was measured by the NOAA single-particle mass spectrometer (PALMS) aboard the NASA WB-57 high altitude aircraft platform during two Aura Validation Experiment (AVE) campaigns based in Costa Rica in 2004 and 2006. These studies yielded
