The characterization of deep convection in the tropical tropopause layer using active and passive satellite observations

Several studies suggest that deep convection that penetrates the tropical tropopause layer may influence the long-term trends in lower stratospheric water vapor. This thesis investigates the relationship between penetrating deep convection and lower stratospheric water vapor variability using histor...
