The impact of stratospheric aerosol heating on the frozen hydrometeor transport pathways in the tropical tropopause layer
The exceptionally low temperature in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) restricts the amount of water vapor entering the stratosphere. However, moisture may also enter the stratosphere in its frozen state, and the amount thereof depends on hydrometeor sedimentation and air vertical velocity. We inv...
