Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study indicates that the convergence of air masses of different origin along a cold front creates sharp gradients not only in temperature and humidity but also in trace gas concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne lidar observations in the inflow region of a warm conveyor belt
TL;DR: In this paper, a trajectory-based approach was used to identify "lucky encounters" with warm conveyor belts (WCBs) associated with extratropical cyclones, leading to the formation of elongated cloud bands, intense latent heating and surface precipitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meridional and vertical variations of the water vapour isotopic composition in the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic and Southern Ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a 5-month continuous time series of such ship-based measurements of δ2H and δ18O from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) in the Atlantic and the Southern Ocean in the time period from November 2016 to April 2017.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential vorticity structure of embedded convection in a warm conveyor belt and its relevance for large-scale dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of embedded convection in an eastern North Atlantic WCB on the cloud and precipitation structure, on the PV distribution, and on larger-scale flow was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Fast In situ Stratospheric Hygrometer (FISH) measurements of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) with ECMWF (re)analysis data
TL;DR: In this article, an evaluation of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) of the ERA-Interim, the global atmospheric reanalysis produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), is presented.
