Seasonal and inter-annual variations in troposphere-to-stratosphere transport from the tropical tropopause layer

In an earlier study of troposphere-to-stratosphere transport (TST) via the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), we found that the vast majority of air parcels undergoing TST from the base of the TTL enter the extratropical lowermost stratosphere quasi-horizontally and show little or no regional preferen...
