Journal ArticleDOI
Cirrus observations in the tropical tropopause layer over the western Pacific
Masatomo Fujiwara,Suginori Iwasaki,Atsushi Shimizu,Yoichi Inai,Masato Shiotani,Fumio Hasebe,Ichiro Matsui,Nobuo Sugimoto,Hajime Okamoto,Noriyuki Nishi,Atsushi Hamada,Takatoshi Sakazaki,Kunio Yoneyama +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the mechanisms that underlie the observed variations in cirrus in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) from the viewpoint of large-scale dynamics and transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correction for Radiation Dry Bias Found in RS92 Radiosonde Data during the MISMO Field Experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, a correction scheme was developed for the MISMO RS92 humidity data as a function of pressure and local time using SW data, and then confirmed its validity with precipitable water vapor (PWV) derived from the shipboard Global Positioning System (GPS) data.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ observations of dehydrated air parcels advected horizontally in the Tropical Tropopause Layer of the western Pacific
Fumio Hasebe,Masatomo Fujiwara,Noriyuki Nishi,Masato Shiotani,Holger Vömel,Samuel J. Oltmans,Hisahiro Takashima,Slamet Saraspriya,Ninong Komala,Yoichi Inai +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the efficiency of dehydration during horizontal advection in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) and found that drier air parcels were exposed to lower temperatures than were more humid ones during advective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cold trap dehydration in the Tropical Tropopause Layer characterised by SOWER chilled-mirror hygrometer network data in the Tropical Pacific
Fumio Hasebe,Yoichi Inai,Masato Shiotani,Masatomo Fujiwara,Holger Vömel,Noriyuki Nishi,Shin-Ya Ogino,Takashi Shibata,Suginori Iwasaki,Ninong Komala,Thomas Peter,S. J. Oltmans +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a network of balloon-borne radiosonde observations employing chilled-mirror hygrometers for water and electrochemical concentration cells for ozone to capture the evolution of dehydration of air parcels advected quasi-horizontally in the tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL).
Journal ArticleDOI
Dehydration in the tropical tropopause layer estimated from the water vapor match
Yoichi Inai,Yoichi Inai,Fumio Hasebe,Masatomo Fujiwara,Masato Shiotani,Noriyuki Nishi,Noriyuki Nishi,Shin-Ya Ogino,Holger Vömel,Suginori Iwasaki,Takashi Shibata +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the same air mass is observed more than once and such cases are termed a "match", to study the dehydration process asso-ciated with horizontal advection in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) over the western Pacific.
