The CO2 tracer clock for the Tropical Tropopause Layer

The CO2 tracer clock for the Tropical Tropopause Layer

Observations of CO<sub>2</sub> were made in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in the deep tropics in order to determine the patterns of large-scale vertical transport and age of air in the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL). Flights aboard the NASA WB-57F aircraft over Central Am...
