Further evidences of deep convective vertical transport of water vapor through the tropopause

Original language description

A few years ago, we identified a deep convective transport mechanism of water vapor through the tropopause, namely, storm top gravity wave breaking, such that tropospheric water substance can be injected into the lower stratosphere. The main evidence presented was taken from the lower resolution AVHRR images of the storm anvil top cirrus plumes. Recent observations have provided further supporting evidence for this important transport mechanism. There are now many higher resolution satellite images thatshow more definitely the existence of these plumes. Furthermore, two thunderstorm movies also demonstrate that the jumping cirrus phenomenon may be quite common in active thunderstorm cells. We have used a cloud model to demonstrate that the jumping cirrus is exactly the gravity wave breaking phenomenon that transports water vapor through the tropopause. These additional evidences provide increasing support that deep convection contributes substantially to the mentioned transport of wat
