Tropopause sharpening by data assimilation

Abstract Data assimilation was recently suggested to smooth out the sharp gradients that characterize the tropopause inversion layer (TIL) in systems that did not assimilate TIL‐resolving observations. We investigate whether this effect is present in the ERA‐Interim reanalysis and the European Centr...
