The Life Cycle of Stratospheric Aerosol Particles

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;1997:;volume( 078 ):;issue: 007:;page 1395

Author(s): Hamill, Patrick; Jensen, Eric J.; Russell, P. B.; Bauman, Jill J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: This paper describes the life cycle of the background (nonvolcanic) stratospheric sulfate aerosol. The authors assume the particles are formed by homogeneous nucleation near the tropical tropopause and are carried aloft ...

Small-Scale Wind Fluctuations in the Tropical Tropopause Layer from Aircraft Measurements: Occurrence, Nature, and Impact on Vertical Mixing

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;2017:;Volume( 074 ):;issue: 011:;page 3847

Author(s): Podglajen, Aurélien;Bui, T. Paul;Dean-Day, Jonathan M.;Pfister, Leonhard;Jensen, Eric J.;Alexander, M. Joan;Hertzog, Albert;Kärcher, Bernd;Plougonven, Riwal;Randel, William J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractThe contribution of turbulent mixing to heat and tracer transport in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is poorly constrained, partly owing to a lack of direct observations. Here, the authors use high-resolution ...

Cirrus Parcel Model Comparison Project. Phase 1: The Critical Components to Simulate Cirrus Initiation Explicitly

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;2002:;Volume( 059 ):;issue: 015:;page 2305

Author(s): Lin, Ruei-Fong; Starr, David O'C.; DeMott, Paul J.; Cotton, Richard; Sassen, Kenneth; Jensen, Eric; Kärcher, Bernd; Liu, Xiaohong

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The Cirrus Parcel Model Comparison Project, a project of the GCSS [Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud System Studies] Working Group on Cirrus Cloud Systems, involves the systematic comparison of current ...

On the Susceptibility of Cold Tropical Cirrus to Ice Nuclei Abundance

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;2016:;Volume( 073 ):;issue: 006:;page 2445

Author(s): Jensen, Eric J.; Ueyama, Rei; Pfister, Leonhard; Bui, Thaopaul V.; Lawson, R. Paul; Woods, Sarah; Thornberry, Troy; Rollins, Andrew W.; Diskin, Glenn S.; DiGangi, Joshua P.; Avery, Melody A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: umerical simulations of cirrus formation in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) during boreal wintertime are used to evaluate the impact of heterogeneous ice nuclei (IN) abundance on cold cloud microphysical properties and ...
