Measurements of methyl chloride in the Northwest Atlantic
(American Geophysical Union, 1994-04)Methyl chloride was measured directly in seawater using a purge and trap system and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The results indicate that surface waters of the northwest Atlantic are a source of ... -
Origin of lapse rate changes in the upper tropical troposphere
(American Meteorological Society, 2002)Vertical motions in clouds arise from a variety of thermodynamic processes, including latent heat release, evaporative cooling, melting, and cloud radiative heating. In the Tropics, the net upward vertical mass flux from ... -
The vertical structure of tropical convection and its impact on the budgets of water vapor and ozone
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)Convective clouds in the Tropics that penetrate the boundary layer inversion preferentially detrain into a shallow outflow layer (2-5 km) or a deep outflow layer (10-17 km). The properties of these layers are diagnosed ...
