Observations of convective and dynamical instabilities in tropopause folds and their contribution to stratosphere-troposphere exchange
With aircraft-mounted in situ and remote sensing instruments for dynamical, thermal, and chemical measurements we studied two cases of tropopause folding. In both folds we found Kelvin-Helmholtz billows with horizontal wavelength of ∼900 m and thickness of ∼120 m. In one case the instability was eff...
