Variability in upwelling across the tropical tropopause and correlations with tracers in the lower stratosphere

Temporal variability of the upwelling near the tropical tropopause on daily to annual timescales is investigated using three different estimates computed from the ERA-Interim reanalysis. These include upwelling archived by the reanalysis, plus estimates derived from thermodynamic and momentum balanc...
