A numerical process study on the rapid transport of stratospheric air down to the surface over western North America and the Tibetan Plateau

<p>Upper-level fronts are often associated with the rapid transport of stratospheric air along tilted isentropes to the middle or lower troposphere, where this air leads to significantly enhanced ozone concentrations. These plumes of originally stratospheric air can only occasionally be observ...
