Commentary on using equivalent latitude in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere

We discuss the use of potential vorticity (PV) based equivalent latitude (EqLat) and potential temperature (<i>θ</i>) coordinates in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) for chemical transport studies. The main objective is to provide a cautio...
