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...
