Quantifying the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Warming Amplification Using Radio Occultation Measurements

Quantifying the Tropical Upper Tropospheric Warming Amplification Using Radio Occultation Measurements

Abstract In the upper troposphere (UT), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultations (ROs) provide accurate air temperatures (<0.5 K) every ∼200 m vertically. We use RO observations from 01/2002 until 12/2018 at 300, 250, and 200 hPa to quantify the tropical upper tropospheric amp...
