Tropospheric ozone layers observed during PEM-Tropics B by Avery, Melody A., Barrick, John D. W., Sachse, Glen W., Gregory, Gerald L., Thouret, Valerie, Cho, John Y. N., Evans, Mathew J., Newell, Reginald E.

“…In this paper we analyze distinct layers seen in the tropospheric ozone and water vapor profiles taken during NASA's Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Pacific Exploratory Mission in the Tropical Pacific (PEM-Tropics) Phase B campaign. In summary, fewer layers were observed in this campaign than during the PEM-Tropics A campaign. …”

Midlevel Ventilation's Constraint on Tropical Cyclone Intensity by Tang, Brian Hong-An, Emanuel, Kerry Andrew
