On the occurrence of strong vertical wind shear in the tropopause region: a 10-year ERA5 northern hemispheric study

<p>A climatology of the occurrence of strong wind shear in the upper troposphere–lower stratosphere (UTLS) is presented, which gives rise to defining a tropopause shear layer (TSL). Strong wind shear in the tropopause region is of interest because it can generate turbulence, which can lead to...
