Mountain waves modulate the water vapor distribution in the UTLS

Mountain waves modulate the water vapor distribution in the UTLS

The water vapor distribution in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) region has a strong impact on the atmospheric radiation budget. Transport and mixing processes on different scales mainly determine the water vapor concentration in the UTLS. Here, we investigate the effect of mounta...
