Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause Clouds (UTTCs): I. Cloud morphology and occurrence
Th. Peter,B. P. Luo,Martin Wirth,Christoph Kiemle,Harald Flentje,Vladimir Yushkov,V. Khattatov,V. Rudakov,Andreas Thomas,Stephan Borrmann,Guido Toci,P. Mazzinghi,J. Beuermann,Cornelius Schiller,Francesco Cairo,G. Di Donfrancesco,Alberto Adriani,C. M. Volk,Johan Ström,Kevin J. Noone,Valentin Mitev,R. MacKenzie,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Thomas Trautmann,V. Santacesaria,Leopoldo Stefanutti +25 more
TL;DR: The Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause Clouds (UTTCs) as mentioned in this paper are the thinnest large-scale clouds in the Earth's atmosphere, covering up to 105 km2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model‐guided Lagrangian observation and simulation of mountain polar stratospheric clouds
Martin Wirth,A. Tsias,Andreas Dörnbrack,V. Weiß,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Martin Leutbecher,Wolfgang Renger,Hans Volkert,Th. Peter +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a flight path was chosen to lead through the coldest predicted region parallel to the wind at the expected PSC level (23-26 km) by using a mesoscale dynamical model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehydration potential of ultrathin clouds at the tropical tropopause
B. P. Luo,Thomas Peter,Stephan Fueglistaler,Heini Wernli,Martin Wirth,Christoph Kiemle,Harald Flentje,Vladimir Yushkov,V. Khattatov,V. Rudakov,Axel Thomas,Stephan Borrmann,Guido Toci,P. Mazzinghi,J. Beuermann,Cornelius Schiller,Francesco Cairo,G. Di Donfrancesco,Alberto Adriani,C. M. Volk,Johan Ström,Kevin J. Noone,Valentin Mitev,R. MacKenzie,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Thomas Trautmann,V. Santacesaria,Leopoldo Stefanutti +27 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first simultaneous in situ and remote measurements of subvisible cirrus in the uppermost tropical troposphere were reported, which are the geometrically and optically thinnest large-scale clouds ever sampled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrathin Tropical Tropopause Clouds (UTTCs) : II. Stabilization mechanisms
B. P. Luo,Th. Peter,Heini Wernli,Stephan Fueglistaler,Martin Wirth,Christoph Kiemle,Harald Flentje,Vladimir Yushkov,V. Khattatov,V. Rudakov,Andreas Thomas,Stephan Borrmann,Guido Toci,P. Mazzinghi,J. Beuermann,Cornelius Schiller,Francesco Cairo,G. Di Donfrancesco,Alberto Adriani,C. M. Volk,Johan Ström,Kevin J. Noone,Valentin Mitev,R. MacKenzie,Kenneth S. Carslaw,Thomas Trautmann,V. Santacesaria,Leopoldo Stefanutti +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new cloud stabilization mechanism is proposed based on upwelling of the air of some mm/s to balance the ice particles, supersaturation with respect to ice above and subsaturation below the tropical tropopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Error Budget of the MEthane Remote LIdar missioN and Its Impact on the Uncertainties of the Global Methane Budget
Philippe Bousquet,Clémence Pierangelo,Cédric Bacour,Julia Marshall,Philippe Peylin,Pradeebane Vaittinada Ayar,Gerhard Ehret,François-Marie Bréon,Frédéric Chevallier,Cyril Crevoisier,Fabien Gibert,Patrick Rairoux,Christoph Kiemle,R. Armante,Caroline Bes,Vincent Cassé,Jordi Chinaud,Olivier Chomette,Thibault Delahaye,Dimitri Edouart,Frederic Esteve,Andreas Fix,Achim Friker,A. Klonecki,Martin Wirth,Mathias Alpers,Bruno Millet +26 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the expected performance of MERLIN to reduce uncertainties on methane emissions is estimated, based on an analysis of the plausible causes of random and systematic errors, and the expected global mean uncertainty reduction over land reaches 60% when the largest desert regions are removed.
