Stratospheric water vapour budget and convection overshooting the tropopause: modelling study from SCOUT-AMMA

The aim of this paper is to study the impacts of overshooting convection at a local scale on the water distribution in the tropical UTLS. Overshooting convection is assumed to be one of the processes controlling the entry of water vapour mixing ratio in the stratosphere by injecting ice crystals abo...
