Long-term climatology of air mass transport through the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) during NH winter

A long-term climatology of air mass transport through the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is presented, covering the period from 1962–2005. The transport through the TTL is calculated with a Lagrangian approach using radiative heating rates as vertical velocities in an isentropic traje...
