Extreme Variability of the Tropical Tropopause over the Indian Monsoon Region

Abstract

Cold point tropopause (CPT) plays a significant role to entry of water vapor into the

lower stratosphere. Thus the variation in the tropopause plays an important role in the

climate change by modifying the distribution in the stratospheric water vapor and hence

the global radiation budget. The seasonal variability of the CPT is well known. During

winter season, CPT is colder and higher but there are occasions when they observed to

be warmer and lower.Similarly, during the summer season CPT is warmer and lower,

however, we observed several cases when it becomes colder and higher. Not only this,

there are several occasions when tropopause varies extremely. Thus, in this study, we

have proposed a method to identify the extreme variability such as the coldest, warmest,

highest and lowest tropopauses and examine the thermal their structure.Extreme

variability of the cold point tropopause temperature (CPT-T) and height (CPT-H) are

examined over a tropical station, Gadanki (13.45 N, 79.2 E)using high resolution

radiosonde data during period 2006-2014. The extreme variabilities in the CPT-T and

CPT-H are identified based on the 2 σ(standard deviation) departure from their monthly

mean. In total 192 extreme cases such as the coldest (53) and warmest (41) CPT-T and

the highest (61) and lowest (37) CPT-H are observed. The coldest (190±5 K, 17±2 km),

warmest (190±5 K, 17±2 km), lowest (190±5 K, 17±2 km)and highest (190±5 K, 17±2

km) occurs without preference of season. Thermal structure of the coldest tropopause

reveal that they often occur sharper with tropopause temperature and height are 189.3 K

and 17 km, respectively. These cases are important for freeze drying

mechanism.Whereas for all other cases such as the warmest, highest and lowest

tropopause are broader in nature.Possible mechanisms responsible for such extreme

variabilities such as equatorial wave propagation, deep convection and ozone transport

are examined.
