Contributions of Stratospheric Water Vapor to Decadal Changes in the Rate of Global Warming

TL;DR: It is shown that stratospheric water vapor is an important driver of decadal global surface climate change, by acting to slow the rate of warming by about 25% compared to that which would have occurred due only to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Journal ArticleDOI

An atmospheric tape recorder: The imprint of tropical tropopause temperatures on stratospheric water vapor

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe observations of tropical stratospheric water vapor q that show clear evidence of large-scale upward advection of the signal from annual fluctuations in the effective "entry mixing ratio" qE of air entering the tropical stratosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal cycle of the residual mean meridional circulation in the stratosphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the transformed Eurlerian-mean (TEM) residual circulation is used to study the zonally averaged transport of mass in the stratosphere and an annual cycle exists in the resulting circulation in the lower stratosphere, with a larger net upward mass flux across a pressure surface in the tropics during northern hemisphere winter than during the northern hemisphere summer.
