Transport across the tropical tropopause layer and convection

Transport across the tropical tropopause layer and convection

Abstract

Ce travail de thèse vise à améliorer la compréhension du mécanisme de transport des parcelles d'air nuageuses dans la tropopause tropicale (TTL). Les sommets des nuages convectifs profonds sont déterminés à partir des données de température de brillance CLAUS. Un bon accord statistique entre les trajectoires, intégrées en avant et en arrière dans le temps entre ces sommets et la surface 380K, a été obtenu entre 2005 et 2008. La contribution verticale des sources convectives et les temps de transit associés à chaque sous-régions tropicales ont été quantifiés. Tout au long de l'année, environ 85% des parcelles tropicales à 380K proviennent d'un sommet de nuage convectif. De novembre à avril, les sources de la warm pool prédominent et contribuent jusqu'à 70% du flux de masse ascendant. Durant l'été, la région de la mousson asiatique est le plus grand contributeur. Les régions océaniques et continentales asiatiques contribuent similairement mais les propriétés de transit diffèrent significativement. Le plateau Tibétain, faible contributeur, est la région pour laquelle l'impact de la convection à 380K est la plus importante. Les différences de taux de chauffage entre les réanalyses impacte le transport. Les propriétés de transit sont très largement expliquées par un simple modèle régional unidimensionnel soulignant l'importance de la proximité du niveau de chauffage radiatif nul.

This work aims to improve understanding of the cloudy air transport mechanism in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). Deep convective clouds tops are determined from brightness temperature provided by CLAUS dataset. A good statistical agreement is obtained over the period 2005-2008, between forward and backward trajectories, integrated between these clouds tops and the 380K surface. This agreement allowed to quantify the vertical contribution of convective sources and their transit time for each tropical sub-regions. Throughout the year, about 85% of the tropical parcels at 380K originate from convective sources. From November to April, the warm pool sources dominate and account for up to 70% of the upward flux. During summer, Asian monsoon region is the largest contributor with similar contributions from oceanic regions and Asian mainland. However, the transit properties differ significantly. The Tibetan plateau, although a minor contributor, is the region with the highest impact of convection at 380K. The differences in heating rates between reanalysis impact the transport.Transit properties can be largely explained by a simple one-dimensional regional model emphasizing the importance of proximity of the level of zero radiative heating rate.
