A statistical analysis of the influence of deep convection on water vapor variability in the tropical upper troposphere
The factors that control the influence of deep convective detrainment on water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere are examined using observations from multiple satellites in conjunction with a trajectory model. Deep convection is confirmed to act primarily as a moisture source to the upper trop...
