Shift of subtropical transport barriers explains observed hemispheric asymmetry of decadal trends of age of air
In response to global warming, the Brewer–Dobson circulation in the stratosphere is expected to accelerate and the mean transport time of air along this circulation to decrease. This would imply a negative stratospheric age of air trend, i.e. an air parcel would need less time to travel...
